My Bucket List – 40 Before 40

I recently wrote out a list of some things I want to do, experience, and make happen in the next decade of my life. I thought it would be fun to share them with all of you that happen upon my website and blog.

Currently, I’m 32 years old, soon to be 33 in March 2019.  So I have about 7.5 years left to make all this happen. Some things I’ve started and made a comment in italics next to it. Some I’ve done and crossed them out. I’ll continue to update the list as things happen.
