Kayley










One of my best friend's is obsessed with aquatic life. I think it's so cool, and what she's already done is truly amazing. Did you know that there's a part of a lobster trap called the "kitchen?" I only know this because my friend, Kayley, is pretty experienced in the world of lobster fishing.
She never misses "Shark Week" or "Deadliest Catch" on the Discovery Channel and Jaws is her favorite movie of all time.

Her mother even sent her a sympathy card when Roy Schieder died. (Police Chief Brody in Jaws)

So, when I asked her what was on her top list of things to do before she kicks it, I shouldn't have been surprised with her answer. It's one of the craziest things I've ever heard of, and will probably be one of, if not the, most creative answer I get.

Kayley said that she's always wanted to go to Port Lincoln in Southern Australia to take part in a Great White Shark Cage Diving Expedition.

I told her she was crazy, especially when I saw pictures of what takes place. It would definitely be a once in a lifetime experience. I truly hope one day that she gets to experience her dream of swimming with the sharks.

Happy Living, Morgan

Pleased to meet you!


Life is crazy. It goes by so fast. It never ceases to amaze me when the calender lands on a holiday or birthday, and forces me to take note at the passage of time in my life. In my 28 years, I have had many unexpected turns down this road called life. That's what has made it so great. I'm not saying that everyday is happy and blissful and adventure filled. I've had more than my fair share of bad days. My great experiences and the people I've met along the way are what make it all worth it.

One thing that I always promised myself I would do in my lifetime is getting my bachelor's degree. I didn't take the conventional route after high school, like going to college, but conventional has never really been my style. Now, I'm a "non-traditional" student, but I'm almost halfway to my graduation day goal. It's been a lot of work and commitment, but I know when they call my name to accept my degree, it will have been all worth it.
I wonder what other people have on their "bucket-lists". What are things people want to do before they inevitably kick it?

(You know, the bucket)

None of us know when it will happen, but maybe we should start thinking of things we would love to do before we die. This will be an interesting topic to explore!
