  • Cruise Through Your Bucket List

    Last year I turned the Big 3-0. I instantly became “old” to my 16 year-old sister. I celebrated with my family and friends. After absorbing a few “you’re so old” jokes, I took some time to evaluate my life. I realized how fortunate I am. I have wonderful friends and family, a great career, and a very fulfilling life outside of work. At this time, I made some goals for myself. Some are very attainable, and some a little more far-reaching. I guess you could call it my own bucket list. I always thought that term was designated for my grandparents. The term was for those who are fulfilling their dreams during the twilight of their lives. However, everyone has goals, ambitions, and dreams regardless of age. Some of mine include learning another language, catching a foul ball at a baseball game, and raising a family.
