I was writing a blog post and like just about every post I've started the past 8 months ... it wasn't lighting me up (we'll get to that when there's time). For now, I thought revisiting this little list might be fun. Crossed a bunch of stuff off that I wasn't feeling anymore, and added a few things that do. Good think about a bucket list - is that you are allowed to do whatever you want with it. My list was meant to dance.

Does #8 mean that you're pregnant?!?! You can add me to the list of 25 people who you have inspired to try a tri :) And I think #42 should happen this coming summer, it has been too long since we have ALL been together! And Happy belated Birthday Aunt Diane, you are one of the strongest, most inspiring women I know and I am so proud to be your niece! Love you and miss you lots!
