You know, your cool. I love people with bucket lists. My list is insane.
ReplyDeleteThank you! This is definitely a challenging list, and I'm not totally certain it's all going to happen. But I keep working at it, bit by it!
DeleteThis is awesome! I feel like we probably have a lot in common (I'm from the southern U.S., speak French and want to become a teacher, am a Christian, love Glee...) and I've seen 3 Broadway touring productions! Hairspray in '09 in Atlanta, Les Miz in '12 in Knoxville, and this spring I saw Wicked in Charlotte. :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love Wicked. I've seen it three times now! :)
