I LOVE summer time. 

It makes me giddy

This year, I have decided to devote my summer to trying new things. This summer is a summer of firsts. I have already begun my summer of firsts -- I went out of the country for the first time. 

This trip combined with the fact that I shot a gun for the VERY first time ever, inspired me to create a list of things I have never done, but want to do before I die. 

a BUCKET LIST. 

This is my first one of those too :) 

Granted, this list will take a LOT more than one more two month summer, but it is getting me excited about life! Also, some of these are do able in this summer, and I will be doing them :)

SO here it goes:

my first {official} bucket list

Set foot in/on the 7 Continents

SO that's it. 

That is my bucket list. I am sure that as the years pass, I will add things but my hope is to never take anything off. I want to only cross my dreams off when I've accomplished them. I know some of them will happen, just because I am stubborn and determined, but others I will need help from other people. I really want to accomplish each and every one, and I am starting this summer. So far I have traveled outside of the country, gone to Disneyland in Tokyo, shot a gun (though I don't own one), and I have started training for a Marathon. Also, the language one -- I want to get started on that one sooner than later.  

So here's to a Summer full of new adventures and experiences that will last a lifetime!
