What have you crossed off this summer?

summer bucket list

Got this idea from Christina over at Strawberry Swingin and just had to do a list of my own. With my to do list being a mile long right now, filled with not so fun items, I thought I needed to make a list full of fun things I want to accomplish this summer. Ok, some might not be that fun (like getting a full time job), but it sure beats paying parking tickets, lol.
