Six Things {volume three}

Let me be honest for a sec, this is a completely narcissistic post. Wanna know why? Because I made the little graphic above and I wanted to use it more than once, so now I have to keep coming up with more ways to talk about myself. This is my third variation of a “six things” post, so I think I’m on a roll! (Read the others here and here)

Consider this like a little CliffsNotes version of me. Get excited!

Six things I want to do before I die:
1. Own a vespa
2. Go back to Italy and France (and England, too, while I’m at it)

5. See my daughter get married
