It’s the start of a New Year and that means it’s time to write out a list of things to accomplish in the year’s ahead. I thought if I put a Bucket List as a page item and cross off things as I accomplish them, it’d be a fun journey. This list isn’t just for the year ahead, but throughout my year’s ahead. It’s time for an update.
If you’ve been reading my blog for some time you know a few things about me:
I love food.
I love wine.
I love new experiences.
I love to travel.
This list is going to have a bit of all those things included in it. I will also be adding things in as I think of them. My goal of this list is to add experiences in that I’ve always wanted to try, and things that I know I’ll even be doing in the year ahead. Nothing’s more fun than being able to cross something off a list.
So, here it is. Jamie’s “Bucket List” of fun:
