My Bucket List

I added The Bucket List to our "queue" of movies on NetFlix last week. I hadn't heard much about the movie except for the fact that it was about a man who makes a list of all of the things he wants to do before he dies. What an awesome idea! When the movie ended and both friends were resting in a coffee can on top of a snowy mountain, I began to sob as I thought about my very own bucket list.

"Are you still crying?" Kevin asked as I sobbed. "Yes."

"Are you okay?"

I proceeded to tell him the truth about me crying. All I ever wanted in life was to be happily married and to become a mother. If I could choose anything in the world to do before I died, it would be to get married and have a family. Everything on my bucket list was complete (well, except for maybe a few more children!). I continued to think through that concept. Was I sure there wasn't anything else that I'd want to add? See the Eiffel Tower? Go sky diving? Visit the Grand Canyon?

Today, I was sure my bucket list just included Kevin, Lily, and Landon. I'd say I've accomplished it all.
