So, it's been a little over seven months since we got married. Maybe one day I'll get to posting the wedding pics... but all that is kind of in the past now. It seems forever ago, to be honest. I really don't understand why they say that the first year is the hardest. I think every day, every week, every month, it's gotten better. My husband's not perfect, and I certainly am not, but for some reason, we fit perfectly together. We have so much fun, and I am so excited for all our fun trips we have planned this summer and fall. One might say I was meant to be married! Life just keeps moving foward, and I continue to take it one step at a time, but man there are so many things I want to accomplish, and since I lay awake and think about these things at night, and where to possibly begin with all of them, I though I would start a short bucket list to (hopefully) get them out of my brain :
(in no particular order whatsoever)
1. Learn How To Take Amazing Photographs
(I just bought a Nikon D3000, and I'm sort of obsessed with
YouTube video tutorials right now.)

2. Write a Novel
( I've started it, we'll see when I finish it. )
3. Have Kids
(Obviously! Fortunately, I know how to start accomplishing this one,
it's just more a matter of WHEN... but we'll get to this in time :)

4. Be Self-Employed
(This is probably the largest and most non-specific task on my
bucket list, but I guess if my novel is a success, I can
mark 2 and 4 off in one fell swoop!)

5. Actually Finish College
(The more time that goes by, the more frustrating it gets,
despite the fact that I'm closer and closer. Ironic? I think not. )
6. Visit Ireland/Scotland/England
( Yep, it's the land of my forebearers, and it has always
held some romantic draw for me. The only reason Prince
William didn't marry me isbecause I didn't get out there in time,
that's my story and I'm stickin' to it.)

7. Own Some Horses
( I had the typical little-girl obsession with horses and ponies,
although it stuck with me into adulthood, so here I am, horseless
at 26, and I would really like to own some at some point.)

8. Run A Marathon
(Strangely enough, I don't run well at all, nor particularly enjoy
exercise, so I have no idea why this has always been a goal of
mine. Weird. We'll see how this one plays out.)

9. Go On A Cruise
(Not very creative, I know, but I'm sure everyone has thought
about it or done it, I hear they are dang fun.)
10. Go Back to the D.R.
(I don't know when it will happen, since it's hard to spend so much
money on a place I've already been when there are so many new
places to go, but the Dominican will always have a piece of my heart.
I have to make it back one day.)

11. Make More Goals For My Bucket List
(One can never have too much to look forward to! )
