Hi Lexie interesting bucket list, well done on the ones you have crossed off so far…I like that is a mixture of thrills, achievements and adventures.
Posted by edgeledge | April 4, 2012, 7:05 amIt is quite a mixture… I think the next one I will cross off is living in the city… hopefully! If not, I will go skydiving again – which I highly recommend to everyone!
Thanks for your comment!
Posted by lexiejrunge1410 | April 4, 2012, 8:57 pmI have a paralyzing fear of heights — how did you overcome yours?
Posted by Mad Queen Linda | April 4, 2012, 7:58 amI’m curious about this one as well! It seems like every time I try to overcome my fear of heights, I am even more scared! You have a great spirit, love that you are actually LIVING life – that is rare nowadays!
Posted by Tina's Pharm | April 4, 2012, 5:18 pmThank you both for your posts! And Tina for your lovely words!!
Posted by lexiejrunge1410 | April 4, 2012, 9:05 pmOKAY, prepare yourself, I went rock climbing! Crazy right?? I have some good friends that go and one day I went to the gym with them… It was scary at first but I built up some strength for the real scary outdoor sport climbing. Then I climbed, outside, on a vertical mountain side, woah.
I was scared out of my mind the entire time, especially when I got to the top and realized I had to get down. But, I can tell you this much – I haven’t been that scared ever again! And when I am, I tell myself, “Lexie, you climbed mountain sides, chill out.”
Posted by lexiejrunge1410 | April 4, 2012, 9:03 pmI’ve always wanted to create a bucket list, however, it has been a struggle as to what I want to accomplish before I kick the bucket…this list has been in my head for quite some time and you’ve written it down successfully! So, I thank you. After looking over your blog I see similarities that you and I share, which makes me smile because i’m happy to know there are more quizzical wanderers out there. I hope to move to San Francisco once I graduate from Washington State University. I have subscribed to your blog because I hope to be inspired by your writing and photography to actually make that move to San Fran. Keep up the good work!
Posted by mwoodrich | April 5, 2012, 11:34 amMargaret, thank you! Your words are so sweet… I don’t mind being called a quizzical wanderer
I like it.
I hope I can keep it up and keep you inspired! Thank you – and get going on that bucket list! The future is uncertain so do what you can to live the present to its fullest potential!
Posted by lexiejrunge1410 | April 5, 2012, 2:52 pmCongrats on being a WP feature…and your bucket list check offs are quite impressive. One thing that I do wonder, since you advocate living lightly, would you consider rescuing a dog next time instead of buying? I’m a first time dog owner, too, but at the last minute ended up rescuing instead of buying…best.dog.ever. cheers ~
Posted by a. m. f. | April 5, 2012, 11:11 pmA.M.F. – Thank you for the observation! Actually, I did rescue my pup Maverick from the Dumb Friends League in Castle Rock, CO. I had to pay for him of course, but he was abandoned/found and brought in. Over the last 1 1/2 of having him he’s grown from being such a shy little guy to a real character! I should change the text on my page – for I am a huge advocate of rescuing animals too
Posted by lexiejrunge1410 | April 5, 2012, 11:27 pmI’ve been following your bucket list for some time now and want to say congrats for accomplishing all the things you’re crossing off. So ambitious, but must feel good!
Posted by boomerontario | May 23, 2012, 8:42 pmI’m so happy for this comment! It does feel good, and it feels even better to know that I can share my experiences with others! Thank you
Posted by lexiejrunge1410 | May 23, 2012, 8:46 pmIt’s such a great idea to have a bucket list of things to complete in our life. I’m personally impressed with your accomplished things so far.
Then, one of your bucket list mentions that you got a plan to Southeast Asia. Have you ever heard Bali or something in Indonesia? It’s my lovely country..:) You’re supposed to visit it as one of Southeast Asia countries..;) go googling it for your consideration..:-P
Posted by yudiE | August 6, 2012, 12:59 pmHey there! Thanks! I would like to think my bucket list is pretty impressive so far, but there is still very much to do! I would LOVE to go to Bali… I pretty much want to see the whole world.
Posted by lexiejrunge1410 | August 19, 2012, 8:14 pmwow! may you have a long long life to achieve and do all. cheers. bests.

Posted by lexiejrunge1410 | August 24, 2012, 9:30 amThis is a wonderful bucket list! I too would love to go on a safari.
Posted by adventurousandrea | September 17, 2012, 9:33 amThanks! I hope that we each get to go on a safari someday
Posted by lexiejrunge1410 | September 21, 2012, 2:18 pmIt would be spectacular!
Posted by adventurousandrea | September 21, 2012, 2:23 pmCongrats on the your 2nd Dan! My move to Alaska interrupted my training in Tang Soo Do. Yes, go to Ecuador and Galapagos – Ecuador is the most amazing country I have visited so far. Definitely visit Alaska.
Great list by the way.
Posted by Adventures in Kevin's World | March 18, 2013, 10:37 pmThank you for reading! I envy your trip to Ecuador… I studied the country a lot in college and I’m determined to go!
