Bucket List

A while ago I posted about my current bucket list. Since then, I've really liked the idea of having a list of things that I want to do before I die and being able to cross them off as I go. I'm sure I'll also be adding things to the list as I think of them, but here's my current list as of 2012, including things that probably would have been on my bucket list had I not done them yet. I'll be crossing things off as I go, stay tuned... :)
