25 Before 25!!

As promised I have composed a list of 25 things that I hope to accomplish before turning 25 on September 7, 2012. I again give credit to my friend Anna who came up with this idea. I may have stolen the idea, and a few of these goals from her (only 2)! They are in no particular order, and some have a few comments, mainly my odd thoughts, beside them. If you'd like to join me on any of these adventures/endeavors let me know, it will make it more fun!

1.) Make something new (food, crafts, etc.) at least twice a month.

2.) Read for fun a little everyday.

3.) Take a vacation- just for fun!

4.) Write letters consistently to friends out of town.

5.) Go at least one day without unnecessarily saying "I'm Sorry" (as many of you know this will be harder for me than it sounds.)

6.) Do logic puzzles or challenging word problems regularly (I have to keep my mind sharp somehow)

7.)Watch all 6 Star Wars movies in one weekend (Anyone have these that I could borrow, and want to join me for this adventure?)

8.) Learn to cook on a grill 

9.) Cook for friends once a month (can we say dinner parties with me cooking!! Who wants in?!)

10.) Play new board games (this one I can't do alone!)

11.) Hike a mountain (or two or three...)

12.) Go at least one day without complaining (about anything, and hopefully more than one day)

13.) Take a gymnastics/Pilates/yoga class

14.) Find a church community I feel comfortable in

15.) Go one month without buying anything materialistic that I don't need to survive (ie. food)

16.) Read some of the "classics" 

17.) Talk to my family (immediate and distant) more often

18.) Go to a wine tasting 

19.) Lose 15 pounds

20.) Go one full day without technology (phone, computer, tv etc.) 

21.) Not let my headache get in the way of being social or doing something I want to do.

22.) Go out dancing or to a club (I have never done this and it kind of scares me, so someone please drag me with you and promise not to leave me!)

23.) Create and stick to a monthly budget (someday I have to be an adult)

24.) Pay for someones coffee behind me in the drive-thru 

25.) Blog about these goals as I accomplish them.

So like I said, let me know if you want to help out with any of these!! I'm excited to see what I can have fun doing!
