MY BUCKET LIST


This may seem slightly morbid, but I was looking through my good friend Randy’s pictures and realized that there are several small things that I want to do before I die- several simple pleasures of life that I have yet to enjoy.  Some may seem relatively normal, and others are slightly more Sam-specific.  So, here it is: my list of tasks to accomplish before I “kick the bucket.”  (That sounds odd to me, for whatever reason.)

  1. Fly a kite
  2. Run a half marathon
  3. Climb a real rock
  4. Ride a horse on the beach
  5. Go skinny-dipping (I hear it’s pretty great!)
  6. Have an article or a picture published in a well-known magazine or newspaper
  7. Visit London, Paris, Rome, Greece, Venice, Madrid, Barcelona, Amsterdam, Berlin, Turkey, and Switzerland (This one definitely counts as more than one! Hah.)
  8. Take part in drilling a well in a village in a third-world country
  9. Buy a puppy that I can truly call my own
  10. Go snowboarding or skiing
  11. Watch every movie in the Disney Classics series
  12. Name a baby
  13. Have a legit picnic (blanket, basket, and all!)
  14. Learn to surf
  15. Visit Liberia with my brother
  16. Graduate college
  17. Either receive a Master’s or attend some sort of seminary/mission program
  18. Read all of the Bronte sisters’ books
  19. Attend an English Romantic-style ball (costumes are a must!)
  20. Make an evening gown

That’s it for now.  Maybe I should get started on some of these!!
