Bucket List


From Wes:

On Wednesday I caught the Champions League final with my brother. Manchester United won by the way (It’s a big deal to the rest of the world). We were talking about our futures, and I mentioned to him that the 2014 World Cup is to be held in Brasil while we are living and working in Chile and that if he can he should visit. He got so pumped and was all like, “I’m there!” He said, “No, seriously, it’s on my bucket list”, which is when I asked him if he had seen the movie. He hasn’t.

He was so excited about the possibility of catching a World Cup game together that he immediately whipped out his cell phone calculator and started estimating what it might cost to pull it off. I loved it.

All this got me thinking. “Do I have a bucket list?” Not that it matters a whole lot because Jesus can come or God take me home whenever he wants and I won’t feel like I got gypped. Nevertheless, here are some of the biggies on my still growing Bucket List, all of which shall be done or accomplished with Ellen at my side.


Wesley’s Bucket List

1. Live in another country.
2. Become fluent in Spanish.
3. Attend a World Cup match in person.
4. Tour Europe.
5. Be a faithful follower of Christ.

So how about you? What do you want to do before you kick the bucket?

I think I could easily copy your bucket list.

Before I can name mine I have to finish this dreadful Master's program that I am in :)

Jonathan,

You have to finish school before making your list! Come on, let's see it!
