BUCKET LIST UPDATE 2019

Back in 2015,  maybe even earlier than that, I decided to sit down and put together a Bucket List. I didn't have a "complete by this date" but I just wanted something that I could use to motivate me to try new things. It's been 4 years since my last Bucket List update, so I thought now would be a great time to get that update going!

BUCKET LIST UPDATE {09.15.2015}

Well, I have finally had the chance to sit down to update my bucket list. Although, I am likely going to change this bucket list since I have a few other goals for this year as a 23 year old, but for now I will just stick with this one and try to complete as much as I can. My original goal was to complete all the items before my 25th birthday, and I would still love to complete these, but I have a few items I want to remove and in their place, add goals that I have for myself now.

 

Any way, here is the update...

FALL IS ON THE HORIZON {07.29.2015}

I seriously cannot even believe that August is this Saturday. Not only does the first and second fall on a Saturday and Sunday, but it is also my mom and dad's birthdays. In some ways, I try to celebrate them, I think about what we would be doing for their birthdays if they were alive. But I am blessed to have them both as guardian angels. So this weekend, I will be prepping my house for Fall. For those who don't know, one thing that I love...is FALL! Although Texas doesn't look like a typical Fall, it's still my favorite time. I especially love the Texas Ren Fest. Sure, to some it's probably dumb, but if you haven't had a chance to stop by, you really are missing out. In addition to the TX Ren Fest, who doesn't love all the fun holidays and birthdays! Here is what our schedule looks like for the Fall holidays and birthdays...

 

August 1&2- My Mom & Dad's Birthdays

September 7- Labor Day

September 9 - My Birthday

September 24- My MIL's Birthday

October 10 through November 29- Texas Renaissance Festival

October 22- Hubby's Birthday

October 30- Little Princess Alli's Birthday

October 31- Halloween

November 21- My FIL's Birthday

November 26- Thanksgiving

December 24- Christmas Eve

December 25- CHRISTmas Day!

 

Fall is busy but I love it and it really is the happiest time of the year!

 

Also, I just love the way the trees have that golden color. Oh and we can't forget the adorable decorations that people put up, specifically pumpkins. They are the cutest things ever. Ladies, get your Pinterest boards ready!!!

 One thing I really want to strive to do this year is make a Fall Bucket List. I think it would be so fun to complete things with the Hubby for Fall. Whose with us? Some of the Bucket List items on my mind are things like: Going to a pumpkin patch, make s'mores outside by a fire, ect. That's all I've got so far, but I will work it and present a really great Fall Bucket List for those that are interested. I think I will even do the Bucket List with a hashtag and add photos to Instagram.

Also, I wanted to chat a little about some of the ladies that I follow on Instagram. So many of them have been receiving their BFPs (Big Fat Positives- on Pregnancy Tests). Babies are such blessing and I love seeing all those positive tests. 2016 will welcome so many little miracles and I just love that each of these special ladies are able to celebrate these Fall holidays with a little miracle baby in their bellies. What a great Christmas gift! Look how wonderful and giving our Lord and Savior is that He would allow so many to enjoy the feeling of their own child growing in their womb on the day that His son, Jesus Christ, was born.

That's all I've got for today, I just felt like writing something short and sweet. Of course I had to give a shout out to the Insta-blessed ladies.

Thank you for reading and God Bless
