Bourbonnais Bucket List

The final countdown to the Big Move has officially begun, as the Man will be leaving for Louisville this upcoming weekend. As with any departure, we've started labeling "the lasts." (i.e. his last Financial Peace University course, his last church service at River Valley Christian Fellowship, his last day of work, etc.) It's sad, but then it gives us a reason to do everything we haven't done in the last 7 years we've been in Bourbonnais. That being said, we've compiled a list of various activities we want to accomplish before leaving this area for good (it's more for me, seeing as though the Man has 4.5 days left in town and hasn't even started thinking about packing). So without further ado, here is our (my) Bourbonnais Bucket List:

• See a movie at Kankakee's Paramount Theatre
• Eat chocolate cream pie at Blue's Cafe
• Attend an Olivet sporting event
• Play a game of racquetball
• Camp at Kankakee River State Park
• Eat at Schoop's Hamburgers
• Take my parents to French Toast
• Have a pint at Peotone's Bierstube
• Order a pizza from Tucci's
• Rent a chick flick and host a girls' night in
• Run a Turkey Trot 5k
• Use my Hobby Lobby gift certificate
• Have dinner with my neighbors
• Attend Olivet's production of Messiah
• Go sledding on Poop Hill

So as you can see, the majority of my bucket list is related to food in some way, shape, or form. Don't judge me, it's how I cope. And if you ever had the chocolate cream pie from Blue's Cafe or the creme brulee french toast from French Toast, you would understand. Oh yeah and that 5k? Never gonna happen...
