Recently I’ve started making a bucket list, things I want to do at some point in my lifetime. Things like visiting every continent, every United State, swimming with dolphins, writing a book, riding elephants and getting a tattoo (I’ve recently accomplished the last two). I’ve decided to knock off the very first item that has been there for ages and really isn’t that difficult to accomplish: learn how to play the guitar. I have always had this burning desire to be talented with music, but I’ve never even attempted because I’ve been intimidated at having to work hard to sound good. But right now I’m at a place in my life where I feel like I can do anything, and with so much free time on my hands I’ve decided I have more than enough to dedicate to learning. So today I bought my very first guitar. I’ve been sitting around practicing chords and attempting to learn my very first song. Christian and Tea are extremely jealous – they’re already begging their mom for guitars, drums, and ukuleles so that we can start a band. Say hello to the Hockridge Family!
