I’ve been working on things like this for a long while. A bucket list of sorts. In extreme good fortune, I have met, dated, and married the love of my life and through my relationship with him I have come to complete some items on my bucket list I never would have attempted prior. For the moment, I am going to put a 100 list up and while it will be incomplete I am going to hope and document my dreams and goals with my current love of photography.

As you can see, a few of the items on this list remain blank. This is where you come in. Leave your suggestions in the comments or shoot me an email at jennfcsu at msn dot com if there is anything you think I could or should attempt. While it may be meaningful to you to go skydiving or bungee jumping, that isn’t something you will find on my bucket list. I’m afraid of heights! If you think of something reasonable, however, your suggestion just might make the cut. I will edit the list and add things to it as I come up with ideas or as I recieve legitimate suggestions. Hit me with your best shot!
