I am the luckiest person in the World...or at least I think so. My reasoning for this thought is the way I live my life and love my husband. For a little background, my husband is 13 years older than I (I have always been one for the mature looking features!)and he has a long family history of heart disease. Three years ago he underwent open heart surgery at a the age of 48 years old.
So that night while in ICU waiting room I made a Bucket List of things I wanted to do with my husband. A bucket list...things I wanted to do or see or experience before "we" could not enjoy them together.
This past summer we crossed somethings off my list in one trip to the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo. Now I know for some, the idea of a rodeo is not on your radar. However,for me, this was a dream come true. The rodeo action, the tradition of the event, the generosity of the people and the breathtaking
beauty of the land was captured in one trip! My trip to CFD was not only a fulfillment of a Bucket List item, but an unforgettable experiencece.We also visited Estes Park, Colorado. The majestic mountain scenes are truly God's creations. This Texas girl had to battle anxious feelings due to driving along the mountain's edge with no guardrail or the signs warning of beware of the black bears. This Colorado adventure was a grand time.
The most important aspect of this journey, was that every step, every picture, and every new adventure was with my husband. My bucket list gave me so much more than what I expected. I encourage you to make your list and discover what things you will discover that you were not even looking for.
My bucket list continues to grow as we continue to cross things off of it. These long lasting memories is what life is all about. Be sure to make your bucket list today!
