I need a bucket list, these are fun to look at.
I love this! I’m going to copy you. I had so many comments to say as I was reading this, and now I forgot them all. But I love your bucket list!
Oh! One of my comments was that my dream house is the Father of the Bride house too!
And gosh darn it, you should feel beautiful. When I first met you, I was jealous of how pretty you are!
And gosh darn it again, you should feel proud of yourself. I’ll write a list of your accomplishments for you if you need it. =)
Becka has it right! Make a list of accomplishments – not just crossing off your list bucket list.
