Adding new bucket list items before my birthday

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is almost my birthday and to be honest I’m very nervous about turning 35. I feel I have not achieved a lot of things that I thought that I would have by now. I decided that after I turn 35, I’m going to stop adding items to my bucket list for five years. I’m doing this so I can focus on completing the current items that I have on my list. However, I’m not 35 yet, so here is one last round of new bucket list items before I start my freeze.

386. see the blue whale of Catoosa

387. Go on a road trip with no destination

388. Visit the hole n the rock

389. Do an art or craft project every day for 30 days

390. decorate an apartment in my maximalist style

391. have my art or photography displayed at the state of county fair

392. make my own bath bombs with prizes inside

393.Keep a Christmas tree for a whole year and decorate it for each season / holiday

My Big Sur summer adventure 2025

Hello, my bucket list friends. In early June, I got to go on an overnight trip with my wonderful friend. It was so much fun and I can’t wait to tell you more about it so let’s get to it!

June 4th – I had this day off, and I was blessed with an opportunity to go on an overnight trip to Big Sur with my friend. On the way to our hotel, we stopped at state park that had some beautiful views. It was a great place to take pictures. When we arrived to check in to our hotel we saw a very fun summer sand sculpture. There was also a huge chair that was perfect for taking pictures.  Also there was a store and I got some souvenirs there. One of the big highlights was that by the restaurant, there were wooden chairs in the river.  it was  relaxing to sit in chairs that were anchored in the river.

June 5th – On this day, we explored Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park. We went hiking through some truly beautiful scenery. I highly recommend going to this amazing state park if you ever get a chance. There was so much to explore here. We also went to a little store that had some great souvenirs. On the way back from our trip, we stopped at the Bixby bridge to take some pictures. This was a great little trip.

Love, Christina Epperly
