Turning 28 feels weird to me. I feel like I should be married, having kids, living the white picket fence dream. At least that’s what I thought when I was 18. Then – 28 seemed a lifetime away. And it was – just as 18 seem like a lifetime ago. It’s funny; we are planning out 10 year class reunion – 10 years? Where’d the time go?
Some awesome bloggers {like her and her} have made “bucket lists” and I’ve always wanted to make one. To make a list of all the crazy, simple, silly, outlandish things I can think of that I REALLY want to do. So I thought what better time than my 28th birthday to begin one…
So here goes, guys. {and I highly encourage you make one of your own if you haven't already!}

27. Take more me time.
28. Help start a clothing brand, from the ground up.
When you sit down and think about the things you want to do before you die. It's not an easy task. Some things are hard to put into words. Some are just completely silly. And some... I just don't know that the world needs to know them. {No offense, loves - but sometimes we have to keep a few things a bit private ;)}
I started with 28 - because... I just turned 28. I hope to add to it and to cross things off and keep you guys updated throughout - now you all can kind of hold me accountable. {That's a little intimidating!}
Have you made a bucket list?!
Happy Tuesday, loves.
Love always.

This is fantastic! You can always break it up into things you want to do before a certain age- bucket list seems so morbid :) My hubby and I have a cradle list - things we want to do before we have kids...then we'll evolve it as we go :)
