Drops in the bucket

   My bucket list, though not written in one place, is extensive.  Backpack Europe after college, start an international non-profit, get married, and many more unique and not-so-unique adventures... It's kind of a trending thing.  We like lists, we like looking forward.
   I want to take a minute to look back.  For a 21 year old, I've gotten (and had) to do some pretty amazing things, I must admit. And I never want to ignore how I've been blessed.

Here are just some of the things that are already in my bucket.
1.  Been to the Equator on opposite sides of the world
2.  I've had a baby named after me (this is an awful thing to say, but she was the ugliest baby I've ever seen)
3.  Spoken in front of over 10,000 people (and yet, I still get nervous every time I have to speak in front of anyone, if I haven't done it in a while)
4.  Loved unconditionally. Shut up, I know it's cheesy.
5.  Been completely broken, and healed. And broken, and healed.  It's truly made me stronger... cue Kelly Clarkson
6.  Seen miracles
7.  Preached
8.  Gotten within 30 feet of a couple of lionesses in the wilds of Africa with no barrier
9.  Caught a fish with my bare hands in a lake
10.  Learned to laugh at myself.. and thank God, too, because that is a skill that comes in handy every moment if your name is Lacy (mini-me will need it too, until she grows some more hair)
11.  Had a line in a hit tv show
12.  11 was a lie.
13.  Gotten a tattoo!

That's all I got right now, but it's a start.  Lord knows there are many more to come.
