Why a bucket list?

As I was finishing my bucket list, I realized there is so much I've actually been fortunate enough to do that may have actually been on my list. I've always been a thrill seeker, goal oriented, always chasing the next big thing in life. Call me crazy but I TRULY believe that I can do anything I want if I put my mind to it.

Challenges can only get me down for so long and then someone says something or some big turning point comes and I make the choice to take it head on and conquer. Well, thats exactly what happened a few weeks ago. I spent most of 2011 in a funk and a friend said to me "Aymee, I've never heard you complain so much". That was my wake up call.

Before I post the list, I thought I would share a few pictures of some of the big things in my life. Somewhere I also have pictures of a hot air balloon ride, parasailing, singing back up with my high school chorus for Shania Twain on stage at her concert, theres a video of me somewhere as Britney Spears on a Carnival Cruise in the talent show, France, Scotland, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Turkey, Cypress, a couple of major awards at work, being published in a few magazines, following Limp Bizkit through 5 states to go to their concerts, trying out for American Idol, ice skating in Central Park, recording a CD, hung out with Method Man, met the Wayans Brothers in Vegas at my sisters bachelorette party, went back to college and graduated about 10 days before my due date with Landen, became an American Citizen, had 2 natural childbirths, got married, met the loves of my life (my 3 baby boys), rode a camel through the desert in Egypt, rode in a gondola in Venice, owned a home and so much more. I guess you dont realize how lucky you are until you actually write it down...
