Reverse Bucket List

So included with my L&B tour de world book brent and i included our bucket lists. If you are unfamiliar with the term, a bucket list (put in my def) is a list of things you want to do/accomplish before you "kick the bucket"- it can be skills you learn, places you see, activities you want to do, etc...its pretty personalized so whatever you want on it, go for it!

well in the past few weeks i have had a lot of ups and downs in regard to school and future stuff so i was tired of being in a rut! i started with making my tour de world book b/c being creative makes me happy, talk of travel makes me happy, and traveling of any sort makes me SUPER HAPPY. Well while doing this i started realizing, yes school is not going as smoothly as hoped but i have done A LOT of  fun great stuff in my little 24 years (almost 25) of life. So i had the idea to do what i call the REVERSE BUCKET LIST.... who knows if this is what it would actually translate to or if its been done before but it was a totally new concept in my head... so here it goes, instead of all the things i WANT to do... Im listing for you a list of things that i HAVE done/seen/accomplished so far (theres prob more  to it but i dont remember everything)

It's so nice to remember the amazing times during times that are...decidedly less amazing. Awesome idea!

P.S. I'm sorry about your down moments :( But things have a way of working themselves out. And if they don't, at least there's always ice cream!
