{Seventeen} The Bucket List

     17 is a pretty cool number. And as of approximately 4:00am, three days ago, on the 22nd, it is how old I am. :) I have had an awesome weekend, being with family, and hanging with my cousins, which is always loads of fun!Then last night I helped hand out water at our church booth at our local street dance. It was lots of fun. And then to top it all off, I received a lovely letter from my pen pal, and that always makes me happy. :)
     I've done a lot of things in 17 years, but there's also a lot I haven't done. There is a lot of stuff I want to do. Some of it might be silly, but dreams, however small they are, are part of the fabric of who we are. So here is my to-do list. More commonly known as a bucket list. :)
