Kris and Lyssa's Great Goal Rush
Follow the completion of our yearly bucket list.
Completed: 12. Eat Chinese Food Out of a Box It seems like in every movie or show that I've ever watched, somebody eats Chinese food out of the box. Obviously, this isn't the hardest goal in the world, but something I've wanted to do for quite some time. Beef and broccoli, combination fried rice and … Continue reading Eat Chinese Food Out of a Box
Failed: 19. Go to Wrestlemania I'm dealing with the grief. Denial and Isolation Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance - Kris
Completed: 10. Understand Buddhism For years I've wondered about Buddhism. Honestly, it's always confused me. Is it a religion? Is it a belief? I had no clue. When planning my goals this year, I really wanted to make myself more spriritually well-rounded. Being Buddhist goes far beyond "just a religion," but more of a way … Continue reading Understand Buddhism
Completed: 23. Go to a Sonic I like to think of myself as a fast food connoisseur. That's a little strange considering I'm a fitness freak, but what can I say, I love fast food. I've been to just about every fast food place, but hadn't yet been to a Sonic. We see Sonic commercials … Continue reading Go to a Sonic
Completed: 1. If Americans can get knighted, look into getting knighted After some research (and emails with the British embassy), I learned that Americans cannot be knighted and can only receive "honorary" knighthoods. Then I wondered, how can an American get this honorary title? Can one just apply online? No. This honorary title seems to only be reserved … Continue reading Get Knighted
Completed: 10. Work With a Personal Trainer Me without clothes or skin I'm bored with my current gym routine, but lacking motivation to push myself. Cardio for 30. Weights for 30. Rinse and repeat three times a week. I'm at a workout crossroads. The fact that I'm even writing these words down makes me laugh … Continue reading Work With a Personal Trainer
Completed: 11. Find Out Our Family Secrets I don't even know where to begin... I guess I'll start like this: every family has secrets. Secrets might not be the best word for it, but work with me here. My initial plan when I came up with this goal was to make sure I knew everything … Continue reading Find Out Our Family Secrets

He's excited that he's able to make an appointment at the last minute. Arriving promptly, Kris checks in with the front desk and is escorted by … Continue reading NSFW: Get a Physical
Completed: 2. Watch Brian's Song Some might call this movie the original "bro-mance" or ultimate "man" movie. And for that, I'm actually ashamed I hadn't watched this movie sooner. This based-on-a-true-story is about Chicago Bears players Gale Sayers (a black player) and Brian Piccolo (a white player). The movie tells the story of their relationship … Continue reading Watch Brian’s Song
Completed: 5. Visit the Mormon Temple in DC *As you may or may not know, if you're not Mormon, you can't go into the building, hence why I could only visit the outside.* The temple is technically located in Kensington, Maryland, however it is named the Washington DC Temple. This is a must see. This … Continue reading Visit the Mormon Temple in DC
