Birthday Bucket List
Each year before my birthday I come up with a list of things to do before my next birthday. The number of things I put on the list is the same as my age. I have been doing it for several years now and I really like it. Since my birthday was yesterday I decided to post about the list and show you what I was able to do. Red means I was not able to do it, and black text are things I have done!
