What my amazing boyfriend did for me

Last week I posted a bucket list on my blog. I really never know who is gonna read my blog. Sometimes my boyfriend does, sometimes he doesn't. Or maybe he always does. He just usually doesn't say whether he did or not. So, I never know. This time was no different. I posted my post and went on with my life. That night, he told me that he had a date he wanted to do with me and that we should do it Sunday. I was excited, as I always am for dates, but had no idea what we were going to do.

Finally, Sunday came and after church and a few errands we made our way to his house. He had to get some things together so he went to his room and I went and sad in his living room. Then, he came back, carrying a bow and arrow! #28 on my list, in case you didn't know haha. It was such an amazing surprise.

We spent about an hour shooting at pizza boxes and I had so much fun. We ended up losing our three arrows or we probably would have kept going haha. I'm so grateful that I have a boyfriend who listens to things I want and does something about it. I love him. Now time for pictures:


I'm very excited to shoot this weapon that's as tall as me haha.



Uh oh. This is gonna be harder than it looks.



What perfect form I have. =)



My wonderful boyfriend. Who I love a whole lot.



Yep. I did that. =)

A pact to myself and a bucket list

I'm going to enjoy summer this year. Usually I fill it with so much stuff that I don't really have time to relax. This year it's gonna be different. I'm gonna ask off work to do things that people invite me to do. I'm gonna call-in occasionally so I can have some time with friends. It's definitely something I need to do. For example, in a couple of weeks, one of my friends that I made in France is coming through Tulsa and I'm gonna go have dinner with her. I'm so excited. I definitely wouldn't have enjoyed any of the time there if I hadn't met her. We did fun things together, like travel 3 hours by train to Lyon because it was the closest place that Harry Potter 6 was showing in English. It was definitely the funnest trip that I went on during those six weeks.

Over the past few months I've been writing a bucket list. I just add things to it as I think of them and I think that my list of 52 items is ready to share. This list will be edited as the years go by. But for now. I think its a wonderful start. I even have two things done already. So, here it is:
