So most of you have probably heard of a bucket list- a list of things you want to do before you die. But have you heard of a reverse bucket list? That's the theme of this month's Circle link-up and it is such a fun idea! A reverse bucket list consists of things that you have ALREADY done. Cool right?
I'm going to start you off by listing off the top three coolest things I've ever done.
1. Sky dived. I peed my pants.
2. Bungee jumped off a hotel in Las Vegas. I think I have permanent whiplash.
3. Married a millionaire
Actually haven't done any of the above. Except pee my pants. Sorry to bum you out. I can't even say any of those things are on my real bucket list. I just thought I would start with something interesting.
Alrighty, for real, let's talk about some things that I've already done in this little life of mine. I broke them up into three categories for your viewing pleasure.
- Random Things -
1. I was almost a homecoming queen nominee. I lost in a tie. Does that even count?
2. I've been dirt biking. Multiple times. It's kind of a requirement in my husband's family.
{Ignore the weird bulge around my stomach. The pants fit me weird.}
3. I've lost multiple breath holding contests. I have the lungs of a rat. In fact, a professor in nursing school asked me if I had asthma after performing a test on my lung function. I don't have asthma. Just really small lungs (according to my self-diagnosis).
{I can hold my breath for approximately 10 seconds.}
4. I lived in Guatemala for two months teaching English and tutoring in Science and Math through an amazing organization called Education & Hope. It was a super challenging, yet meaningful experience and I've been trying to figure out how to blog about it.
{This is me hand washing my clothes at the end of the week. If you do this even once, you'll forever love your washer.}
- Things I am not proud of -
1. Flipped over a board game and stormed off in a bout of truly unsportsmanlike conduct after losing a game. This may or may not have happened multiple times. I'm working on it.
2. I've worn white shorts after Labor Day. That's a no-no right?
3. I've eaten food off the floor without washing it off. Probably 300 too many times.
- Things I am proud of -
1. I ran a marathon in college. I was terrified of gaining the Freshman 15 so I figured if I ran a marathon I could eat whatever the heck I wanted and not gain weight. The strategy worked great and I don't plan on running a marathon ever again.

2. When I was a junior in high school, a cake and a loaf of bread I baked won the top two prizes at the Colorado State Fair. As a result I got to send the cake and bread (freshly baked of course) to Washington D.C. where it was served at the Capitol for a breakfast for all the senators and representatives. Funny thing is at this point in my life I don't really like cooking or baking. If I had a dispensable income I would spend it on restaurants. But I still get peeved if someone disses my cooking skills. One day I'll get back into the kitchen and enjoy it.
{This is the same recipe that was served at the Capitol}
3. I sang throughout high school and got chosen for several honor choirs and got to sing a solo in the Colorado All-State Choir Concert. I've also been playing the piano since I was 6.
So there is all that. Bet you never ever wanted to know that I've peed my pants before.
What is something on your reverse bucket list that I may not know about you?
