I have not been able to stop smiling since I opened the mail today. This past year I had a few experiences that lead to me really sitting down and deciding I wanted to do things I'd always dreamed of doing. Don't let life pass you by! I made a list of 30 things I want to do by the time I turn 30 (next summer!) Some were mundane items like have that much procrastinated meeting with a financial advisor, some are to try and better myself like try out classes at the gym to find one I actually enjoy, and some are just to live life and do awesome things like ride a hot air ballon. I mentioned this list on my bio and in the bucket list section of the sign up.

AND SO MY SANTA BOUGHT ME A TRIP ON A HOT AIR BALLOON NEAR WHERE I LIVE! OH MY GOSH I AM SO EXCITED. THANK YOU SO MUCH SANTA YOU ARE THE BEST SANTA AND I'LL REMEMBER YOU FOREVER. You are so generous and I am so very grateful!

EDIT: I wanted to edit my thank you post to say I got a follow up message from my santa about their fathers experience with fighting leukemia and fulfilling some of his bucket list items before he passed away, and about how that had inspired them to give the gift. I just wanted to say again on how moved I am! And if you have a chance....feel free to join me in making a donation to MD Anderson Cancer Center.
