Kicking the Bucket

I have not posted in such a long time! Almost two weeks! So many things have been going on! Ah summer, busy busy :) Update(late but needs to be said): My Heat unfortunately lost but we did great! We got this far but the Mavs took it--congrats Mavs! y'all worked for it, y'all got it :) the entire series was awesome, enjoyed it very much! We'll see how things go next time--GO HEAT! :)

I am finally back! So many things need to be said! However, first things first: There are an infinite amount of things that I wish to do. All of which I will get accomplished--most definitely! Here is the thing: one will never get anywhere if one does not put their foot down first and stop letting things get in their way. Therefore, I will begin with a list and why not start with:
Things to do before I kick the bucket!
(haha sorry, that sounds so depressing but my little smileys will give it a hint of happy!)

While it would be amazing to make a summer bucket list and run through it all in one summer, I will resort to a lifetime bucket list of which I can cross out anytime of the year :) Many of these things, I've dreamed of doing since I was a child. A lot of the things are small and conceivable while others sound pretty far fetched (reason why they are on a bucket list!). I will also include the things that I've done already and check those off--hopefully my checkout list won't be too short :)

"Quit hanging on to the handrails . . . Let go. Surrender. Go for the ride of your life. Do it every day."
