Year 29 Bucket List.

Today, I turn 29. My 28th year was by far the best yet.

I got engaged shortly before my 28th birthday.

We bought our house.

We got married.

We celebrated our first Christmas.

We brought home a cute and energetic pup. Chris named him Chester. Chester went from pup to 50 lb. lap dog.

Chester went from sleepy pup to keeping us on our toes.

After such a wonderful year, I am really looking forward to all the fun the last year of my 20′s will bring. I have been making a list of things I want to do in my 29th year – a bucket list of sorts. Some are tasty (fried chicken and sushi), some will be sweaty (sub 4 marathon), some will deepen my faith and some might be a little terrifying (driving Chris’ beast of a truck). I can’t wait! Follow along this next year as I mark off my bucket list.
