Day 51: Bucket List

Today marks the beginning of my last week at New Adventure School, and I realized that although I've never actually written down a bucket list, the two last months I've spent in Kenya would definitely knock some items off of mine.  (For anyone who doesn't already know, a bucket list is a list of things one would like to accomplish or experience before "kicking the bucket.")  I thought it would be appropriate to finally list out the things in my life that I've been blessed enough to experience, as well as some things that I hope to do before my time on this earth is up.

1. Marry the love of my life
2. Give birth
3. Adopt a child
4. Start a non-profit organization
5. Bring someone to Christ (maybe I already have, but I won't know for sure until I see them in Heaven!)
6. Contribute to my parents' retirement in a meaningful way
7. Spend time as a missionary in a developing area/country: check!
8. Go on an African safari: check!
