Chateau de Victoria: {100 Things Left To Do Before I Die}

Today, I am loving...

Big Dreams

There are a lot of things I have seen, done and enjoyed in my 24 years. I am fortunate to have had so many adventures thus far...but that doesn't mean there isn't more I want to do! So I decided to create a bucket list, which is something I have never done before. I am going to keep this list handy and mark things off as I complete them. By posting my goals (and eventually turning this list into a tab on my blog), I am using you (the reader) as a witness to my impending adventures and want you to keep me accountable for making my dreams a reality. Ready, set, go!

I love this post so much, I have a bucket list. I completely agree, I want to live my life to the fullest, and that is best fit for me!
I found you on 20sb.net by the way!

I've done number 5,6, 17, 40, 56, 59, 62 (by two different bees in the same day, on the same spot on my hand, ouch!), 75, 83, and 89. I like your bucket list; it isn't full of cliche things, especially get stung by a bee, never seen that on anyone's bucket list. I have one too, but it's shorter than yours: http://happeningsfromanundisclosedlocation.blogspot.com/p/bucket-list.html I keep adding more things though.
