Buck3t List

Well i have a bucket list already in my journal but it needs some editing and separation into to parts. The first part will be a bucket list for the death of my single life and the second part will be my overall mortal downfall.

*Disclaimer*- In no way do i feel like getting married is a negative part of life. There are just a few things i would like to do first. Hopefully on the journey of completing some of those things i will learn things that make me a better husband and father.

Part 1 Premarital List
