Middleton Place Plantation, Charleston, S.C.
I've stolen this from my nephew Jesse's Facebook site because it charmed me so. I wasn't as clear about my goals when I was 19. I think he presents as an interesting, well rounded, energetic and ambitious person. It's listed as a first edition and he is open for suggestions. Do you have anything he should add?

ReplyDeleteIt's definetly an ambitious list! He sounds energetic enough to get these done, too! My boys are around his age, I'm going to suggest they make a bucket list. :)
ReplyDeleteI particularly liked that in the midst of all the sports and macho goals he wants to be a Nurse. He is well on his way and just started Nursing School.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part may be scrapbooking the whole thing!
ReplyDeleteI need to make a list.
That's a serious list! This time around would be a great World Cup to check out. You'd have one of your African countries down!
ReplyDeleteCaroline - that will be some scrapbook, eh?!
ReplyDeleteSean - These aren't mine though, they are my nephews. I have accomplished a few of them in my life.
