Bucket List for Two Please!

So a pretty good friend of mine, Justin Alexis (pew pew) gave me an interesting idea. He suggested I start a Couple’s Bucket List with Kattina. He made an interesting statement that for so many young couples, marriage is kind of like the tip of the bell curve or the climax of the relationship.
This sounds kind of true so far. I mean in our case, we became friends, we started dating, we got engaged, we tied the knot, and then we started working a lot and hanging around the apartment for evenings and weekends.
We’re 21 and 23. It’s not time to settle down yet! When her eyes don’t work and my knees don’t bend, that’s when it’s time to settle down. I don’t want to be an old married couple until we’re old! I’m saying ‘no mas’ to settling. I don’t want to let myself go. I want to strive for a beach body until I’m 60. After that, I’m wearing a Speedo anyway!
Marriage can’t be the peak. It’s the bottom! It’s the thing that legally binds two people so they tear life a new one together.
It allows two people to take one bull by the horns! I mean how much better is animal abuse when you’re doing it with your best friend!?
We get to live life to the full together. I know if I had two cups I’d want both of them to be full!
So Kattina and I have discussed a few things we would like to take care of while we’re still on this earth; A Couple’s Bucket List if you will. We hope you’ll be encouraged to dream big. Dream beyond your current budget. And dream together.
