Last week was the first day of MOPs. I had a ton of fun meeting the ladies at my table. Besides laughing and sharing life, our speaker, Dale Skram challenged us to make "local" bucket lists. Frankly, I never have even made a bucket list (Please, no shaming.). I loved her idea of the local bucket list because there are times where I have no clue what to do in this area.
We moved to Colorado Springs 1 year ago. It's hard to believe that we've been away from family and friends for that long. I've met some wonderful people, but I'm still trying to make this "home." So when she mentioned the local bucket list, I was intrigued.
My in-laws had the opportunity to visit us this past week and we explored areas that we haven't before and it was awesome! So now with fall here and winter quickly approaching, I want to make a local bucket list so the family and I have things to do. I don't want to be here another year and think that we didn't do or see any of the "must do" and "must see" opportunities.
So here's the list:
