my buried life

authors note:
My name is Shelby and this is my buried life.  I have been making a bucket list of things I want to do before I die for a vey long time. Each year I add new things and I hope to continue to add and make my list grow. It's kind of scary thinking that I may be able to complete all my list by the time I am elderly, or who knows maybe I will still be completing them. One of my main passion is dance and traveling. As a kid I have never been on a vacation across the ocean or anywhere far. I have friends that go on trips all the time and have sands from many different beaches around the world. It inspired me to start a collection one day of something that can remind me of all my trips around the world.  Some where that has caught my eye is Spain. I love the culture and music and the language. I also love Greece because all the pictures I have seen look amazing. It also reminds me of my child hood and how I would watch The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and they went to Greece. Another place would be Hawaii. I would pick Hawaii because it is a beautiful tropical place and my friends kid is 5 and he has been there 6 times so I think it's my turn.. . I think it would be amazing to dance somewhere other then Manitoba. I want to see and dance on other stages and have other people watch me dance. Doing a solo has been on my list for a while, I am not nervous but it all takes time and that's what's been stopping me. Last year I did a duo with my sister which was an amazing experience. To me my bucket list doesn't have to be expensive or crazy wild things I just want to say I have completed it whether it is big or small. Some things may take a while, while others not so much and I'm ok with that because I have my whole life ahead of me. I chose the song 'I Love This Road' by Emerson Drive because I thought it fit well. I love the road I'm heading down and the road I'm making mine and all the stops that will come along the way. All pictures taken or drawn by myself. 

what now? 
Rascal Flatts has been one of my favourite country bands for a long time. When I found they were going to be at country fest in June I had to go! I saved my money got my mom to stay online and order tickets the day they were selling them. I just need to grab and pack everything when the times comes and I will be set to see and watch Rascal Flatts perform live!

  17. I would love to meet the Kardashian's! Love their show and I just think they're such a carefree and crazy outgoing family! I think Kylie would have to be my favourite, because she's so open about everything and I love that she has her own separate style from everyone else! Who's your favourite?

  18. I like that you took the time to write out all your things you want to do, you have good printing so it looked really nice and neat. You can tell that you put a lot of effort into it.
