(x) Write a Pen Pal

Next on my bucket list was to write a pen pal. I went online to figure out how to find a pen pal and that is when I found the website PenPalWorld.com. From there I could search for the age and sex of who I wanted to talk to. I wanted to talk to a female that was around my age. Next I wanted to meet people from outside of the United Stated so I chose by country. My first search was Ireland and the first person I met was Jessica, I have been writing her for a couple months now and it has been a fantastic experience. I have Met someone from Ireland, India and Canada. I mostly talk to Jessica from Ireland though. It's great to learn about her culture and how things are done over there and also the similarities we both have. She has sent me letters, post cards, a pictures, a rock from Italy and a Euro ( the type of money they use). I have learned so much from her and what she loves about her country. She is an amazing person in that she has an open mind, shes adventurous, she is so positive and so far we seem to believe in the same things and have the same morals. It's been so great to get to know someone from so far away that is so alike me. I have a huge desire to travel all over the world and Ireland has always been at the top of my list. She has offered her home to me when I do decide to travel there and I have offered her my home when she comes to California. I really can't wait to see what more comes of the new relationship!



&& the best part is getting a mail that is not a bill once in awhile!!

(x) Have a Star Wars Marathon

I am happy to say that I have finally watched Star Wars! My boyfriend finally sat me down and we watch them all in a couple days. I actually liked them all and liked to see the differences in effects from the 70's and 2000.  Now I no longer have to be embarrassed when the topic is brought up--I can now say I have seen them. 

(x) Go to a movie by myself

Today I get to cross another item off my bucket list. This is a small item- just going out to the movies by myself. I never wanted to do this for fear of looking lame or not being able to sit by someone I know but i'm glad it is something I tried. I would have much rather been with someone else though. I went to see A Million Ways to Die in the West--it was so funny!! However there was the obnoxious man laughing at EVERY scene even the ones that were not funny...pretty sure he was high. It would have been nice to laugh at him with someone else but instead since I was by myself I just got irritated. Good movie still--I recommend it!

(x) Snorkeling

I got to go snorkeling on May 21st 2014 and had a blast! I got to explore the La Jolla Cove with my coworker and her daughter. After squeezing into a wet suite for the first, which was a challenge in itself, we put on our fins and began to walk backward into the water, also a challenge! We were instructed to swim backward until we were completely submerged in water up to our necks and could not touch the ground. Then we got to turn around! This was when we could put our head underwater and begin to breath through the snorkel. It was the weirdest thing!! You can see the fish below all whole just listening to your breathing. We really only got to see the fish before we got past the waves. Once we got past the waves it was to foggy to see anything. We swam out to the caves where we got to swim with the sea lions, "dogs of the sea." They left us well alone, which we were thankful because they are HUGE up close. Unfortunately we were unable to go into the cave because the swell was too big but it was a great experience anyway. Once we got out of the water we were all a bit tired. I am not sure if it was sea sickness since I have never had that, or if it was the way we were breathing into the snorkel. We got out and were dizzy. After about a half hour of relaxing we felt better and had worked up quite an appetite. Snorkeling was a lot of fun, but for next time I would have to do my research in when would be a good time to go when it is clearer to see the ocean life. 

(x) Kiss at Sleeping Beauty's Castle

Next to cross off my list is a Kiss at Sleeping Beauty's Castle. I took a family trip to Disneyland to see my niece perform in her show choir and I got to snap this precious memory while we were there.
