so... I just had my half birthday.. so I am 24 1/2. This has made me think a lot about when I was younger and what I thought I would have done or who I would be when I was 25. Now, some things have happened that I didn't expect, such as getting married at 23 or having to go back to school, but both are an amazing blessing to me. But there are some things that I realize I really want to do before I turn 25. Nothing too large because I do only have 6 months and I want to be realisitic. While i wish I could put, buy a house, get a dog, or go on a european vacation... I know all those things are out of our reach right now. So I need to focus on smaller milestones and life pleasures, so I can give myself some stuff to do but not feel dissapointed by making myself adhere to dreams bigger than our bank account.
So here goes... 25 before 25... & before 26 for Erik.. haha ;)
- Learn to play chess
- train for a 10K or half marathon- Or at least exercise 3-4 days a week (lose 10 pds?)
- GRADUATE!
- spend a few weekends at the beach
- clean out my closet and drawers
- learn to knit
- create a home with Erik
- create a successful book club
- find and refubish a dresser for our soemday bedroom
- start to learn a language.. maybe French or Spanish
- create my own signiture scent using essential oils
