Summer Bucket List

Well friends, tomorrow is officially the first day of summer! If you're like me, your summer pretty much begins in May...but to celebrate the official beginning of summer, I want to share my summer bucket list. This list consists of a few small things..a few big things..but all in all it is just a list of things I MUST do this summer. 

I am a total list person. Like an OCD list person. I make a "TO DO LIST" for things at home, things at school, I make grocery lists, I make a menu list for the week, and I make Chris's "TO DO LIST," just because I enjoy doing it.  I even get a rush when I am able to check things off. And I don't believe in scratching off like my mother some people, and making a huge, ugly mess..I draw little boxes beside each "TO DO" so I can neatly place a checkmark there. I know...OCD. 

So, I figured if I make a list of things that must get done on a day to day basis in the White home..why not make a list of things I want to do that I am going to really enjoy?! Now, some of the things on the bucket list have already been checked off...considering my summer technically started over a month ago. But here is it..SUMMER BUCKET LIST 2012:

-Make a chalkboard for my kitchen...check! (Found an old one at a flea market and revamped it!)

-Make a collection of healthy recipes to cook...

-Go to CMA Music Fest...check! Four days of country music concerts, total blast.
