The Buried Life

The television show that inspired our list of 100 things to do before graduation, premiers tonight on MTV at 10/9 central. Most of us have our DVRs set to record the show because we just happen to busy during the premier! oh well, we will all catch it later!

#23 Swim with dolphins or manatees

We are excited to announce that we have only 99 more things to do on the list!!! Bryce had the opprotunity through Girl Scouts to swim with manatees in Florida today. We all want to do this activity, but she beat us to the punch. Maybe later on in the year the rest of the group will get to go to Florida  and have this experience. Bryce took many pictures or so she said. ;) When she gets home from Florida, pictures will be posted to the blog. Also, when she gets home we can start on working one other thing off the list which is #99 create a scrapbook of our adventures. The fun has now begun for all of us. All that's left for us to do is come to a consensus for our name for our group as a whole, we do have several in mind, we just have to pick one! :)

According to Bryce, the manatees love belly rubs and to be tickled!

Burrrr. Bryce went swimming at the beginning of January. She said it was freezing!!!

Bryce being a goof! :)

We need some fundraising ideas for our group to complete the "bigger" items on our list. I guess we didn't really anticipate coming up with things such as riding the country's tallest rollercoaster or the swimming with dolphins or going to major concerts/sporting events or all the traveling we would have to do. So does anyone have any ideas for us?!

100 Things

Our list of 100 things is finally complete and we can start working on crossing all of them off!!! Woo hoo!!! We still need to come up with a name for the group itself, but we actually have several in mind! :)

The List in the Making

We got the idea from the new MTV reality show The Buried Life.  It sounded like an interseting and a fun way to build memories leading up to and all of senior year of highschool. The people taking part in this are Mallory Cadenhead, Katie Kimbrell, Claire Bolen, Kelsey Thomasson, Taylor Giles, and last but certainly not least, Bryce Maier. So the past few days, we have been trying to come up with all 100 things for our list. So far over the course of 3 days we have come up with 81 things to do before graduation! Also in the past 3 days we have come up with a title for our list, but not a title for group. The list is still in the works, but we want to finish it ASAP so we can start. Everyone in our group is ecstatic to start working on crossing things off of the list. The sooner we start, the sooner the real fun begins. In making this list, our hopes are to make great memories, make new friends, and build our friendship stronger. This list will be the thing we remember most about our last year and half of high school. The whole goal of the lunchbox list is to accomplish 99 things before graduation and the 100th thing being GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL, which we plan to cross off the list after all of us have walked across the stage!
