Creating a Bucket List!

I have written many times about having a bucket list. According to the Oxford Dictionary, a bucket list is “a number of experiences or achievements that a person hopes to have or accomplish during their lifetime.” Or, as the term implies, it is the things you want to do before you "kick the bucket." Well, I hate that phrase. While I believe everyone should have a bucket list, and this statement will make my family happy, we never know when we will die. That is why I think having a bucket list benefits us all.

I started mine earlier in life—within the last ten years, as both my husband and I love to travel. Not having kids affords us more opportunities and resources to do so.

While the statement I made before—about everyone having a bucket list—still stands, I do feel mine has been accelerated a bit because of my diagnosis. However, I do not think that is any different from someone starting later in life, as advanced age can also push you to create a bucket list and speed up its experiences. So, I decided that every year—or at least until everything is completed, nothing too strict—I would add a few new goals. Luckily, I have already crossed some off the list, and in January, I will be adding five more.

My current bucket list is not anything too crazy:

1. Complete my associate's in criminal justice (Completed) 😊✔

2. Attend D23 in Anaheim (Completed) 😊✔

3. Take a tour of Walt Disney Studios in Burbank (Scheduled for next week) 😊📆

4. Ride along with a police officer (in the works fingers-crossed) 🚓🚓🤞🤞

5. Go to Disney World. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Okay, not bad! I have already crossed a few things off the list. The last two, though—and I know the fourth one might seem a bit odd, right? Anyone who knows me knows I am obsessed with shows like Cops, Code Blue, and CopCams. I love watching police in action and have a lot of respect for what they do. I have always dreamed of doing a ride-along to see them in action—and hopefully, tase someone (not me, the officer, of course, lol). Plus, I have an associate's degree in criminal justice and studied the profession. Very interesting stuff!

As for Disney World, it is crazy I have not been yet! Yes, my parents never took me as a child, but I am definitely planning to go as an adult with my husband
