My Bucket List

I think it is essential for all people to have aspirations and dreams, and I hope that you have a solid idea of your purpose in life and what you hope to accomplish, whether that is work-related, relational, or just plain fun. Recently, I was talking to my friend Peter about things we hope to do in life, and shared some of our "bucket lists" with each other. I thought it would be fun to blog a few items from my list. Comments are welcomed. :)
