My Bucket List!

I’m sure many of you have some things that you would LOVE to do before you die.  Personally, I have quite a few.

1. To start off small, I would love to get a few more tattoos.  I currently have three that each hold a very special meaning to me.  I’ll go more in depth on the meaning of them later, but I currently have a sun, a wave, and a tulip.  Despite how much I adore these pieces of art, there are some more that I would love to get.  (Like I said, I’ll go more in depth on these tattoos and their meanings in another post.)
   

   
2. Moving up to some bigger things, I would love to travel to each baseball stadium across the U.S. I’ve been an A’s fan for a while now along with the rest of my family.  I’m originally from Sacramento, so we would always try to travel to Oakland for a game as much as possible.  Sadly, at the age of 19, the Oakland stadium is the only stadium I have been to, so I’m eagerly hoping to expand that list soon!
3. I’ve always been a bit of an adrenaline junky along with the fact that I love taking risks.  One main thing I would love to do before I die is go sky diving.  My cousin Kaellie went sky diving when she was in college and ever since she told me her story, I have wanted to.  It seems like it would be such a thrilling activity, and I would absolutely LOVE to do it.
4. Another thing that’s a bit smaller is to become talented at photography.  I’ve always been so drawn to beautiful photography that I’ve seen online or in person, and it seems like something I would love to partake in. I’ve attempted taking up photography occasionally, however it’s hard without proper equipment.  I’m hoping to eventually find a camera that allows me to explore this hobby more in depth.  Here’s a few photos that I’ve taken and I know they aren’t too impressive, but they are a few of my favorites.
   

   

   

    

5. I know this one may seem rather basic, but I would love to travel.  I’ve never been anywhere much further than the west coast, but so many places seem interesting to me.  One place I would love to go to more than anything is Africa.  It seems like such a earthy place and it would be so interesting to be around the animals in the Safari; not to mention all of the other attractions that Africa brings.  Besides Africa, I think it would be lovely to travel around Europe, Costa Rica, the Bahamas, and other places in South America.
6.  One of the few things I hold near and dear to my heart is writing.  Probably the most important thing on my bucket list would be to write a book.  My mother has always been an inspiration to me, and she has led me to always dream to inspire other people.  For me, writing a book would be one of my greatest accomplishments, and my hopes would be that it could inspire someone, the same way my mother always inspires me.
7. Last but not least, and probably the most common goal for many people would be to grow up, get married, have kids and many many dogs.  I would love to live in a big house, have a nice car, a boat and a nice job, but a girl can dream, right?

I’m not saying I need all of these things to be happy, because I have so many things to be thankful for, but if I had the opportunity to do/have even half of these things, I would be thrilled.  As I said before, I’m sure many of you have a bucket list, and I urge you to persue these things, no matter the significance of the goal.  I know that I’m going to try my best to complete all of these in my life time, and I hope you all do the same.

If you have any questions for me, or comments on your own bucket list items, please comment them below, because I would love to hear what they are! Thanks so much for reading!
