List of things to do with someone you love

I was going through some boxes the other day to try and find Christmas stuff when I found a box containing the letters that Adam and I wrote to eachother during my year and a half in Thailand. I of course pulled them out to read them and it filled me with so many memories. I loved getting letters from Adam. One of the things that we did was write out a list of all of the things that we wanted to do together when I got back from Thailand. I love that list and wanted to list some of my favorites here. Sadly, hardly any of these have been accomplished yet...
