Since first writing my bucket list in November, I've realized that it's way easier to add items to it than to actually complete them. I knew the list would change over time--I just had no idea it would just grow. Regardless, this is a work in progress, and your ideas would be very much appreciated!
Why write a bucket list? Quite simply, I know that I am good at completing goals if I have a specific one and know how to complete it. You can't meet goals you don't set.
Also, no vague goals on my list. If I don't know how to accomplish it, I am not going to put it on my list because it will just frustrate me, and it's not even a real goal but just a dream. I'll leave the dreaming to Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Bucket List:
- Buy a place in Muskegon, Michigan
- Buy or build a house (for me) with an indoor pool
- Convert the PT Cruiser into an electric vehicle
- Make out with Keira Knightley (seriously reconsidering this--she can't be as sickly thin as some of those photos online make her look, can she?)
- Pee on the continental divide
- Pilot an airplane
- Ride my bike to Belgium
- Skydive
- Successfully pull of a caper. I was a little adverse to this at first, but after contemplating one, my appetite has been whetted. This will be fun. (Thanks, Bombadee!)
- Take a honeymoon in the Virgin Islands. You'll notice "get married" isn't on the list, so somebody might get a heck of a deal on this one...though that could get complicated quick.
- Trick someone into taking me to a five-star restaurant.
- Visit these fine places (or, if I have already, one more time):
- Australia (including Cape Tribulation.)
- Canada
- Columbia
- England
- Fiji
- Norway
- United States - Every State. Don't forget...
- Disneyland
- Disney World
- The Grand Canyon
- Hawaii (I know it's a state, and therefore already covered, but it's important!)
- Jackson Hole
- Jamestown, ND (and it's big Bison) It turns out, this is just the next city over from Valley City, home of the Dam Bicycle Tour.
- Las Vegas
- Metropolis, Illinois - gotta see the giant Superman statue
- Mitchell, SD (and its Big Bison)
- Montgomery, Alabama (and eat at ten different Mexican restaurants in a single day. It sounds like an, uh, express diet plan.)
- San Diego Zoo
- Wayne's Drive-In, Cedarburg, WI (delicious!)
- Yellowstone
- Whitewater Rafting - At any class, but at some point at least Class 4!
- Write the book (or two?)
Completed:
- Run ten miles. This is a horrible goal. I do not recommend it.
- Visiting Illinois.
- Chicago (somehow managed to not be blog-worthy)
- Dixon
- Rockford
- Schaumburg
- Winnebago
- Visiting Wisconsin.
By the way, if you think I should visit your town, be sure to drop me a line and tell me why! (Also, let me know if I can sleep on your couch!)

I think you should also:
- Eat at a five star restaurant (did it once, amazing is the only word.)
- Learn the tango (can't hurt and could be useful.)
- Write the book (you know you want to... ok, ok, maybe I just want to read it.)
- Successfully pull off at least one caper. (your choice of course, but there should be frantic fleeing involved for it to be called a caper.)
ok if it is big bison you like then you need to go to Jamestown ND. It is known for the largest buffalo in the world..you can google it....
anyway..great blog..haha
You defiantly need to visit Montgomery Alabama, not only is it home to the grave site of Hank Williams it is the mexican food capitol of the world and you could defiantly set a new goal of eat at 10 different mexican restaurants in one day and accomplish that while you are here. Two in one stop!
Well, when you make it to AUS, make sure to visit Cape Tribulation. Spectacular. Maybe rent a car and drive up the coast from Sydney to Cairns exploring aroung. It was the best time ever. I wish you the best!
Ok, I think visiting Rockford should not count, but you should add Scotland to your list. It has such beautiful scenery and a great history. If I could I would go back in a heart beat.
