Hi guys!
I just turned the big 2-6. How can this be? I remember when I was just a little girl playing dress up…kidding, that was my Mom. My birthday present to myself this year was a list. I decided to compile 27 things I want to accomplish before I turn 27. This forces me to stop making “fake” plans and promises. You guessed it, number one on the list just so happens to be starting a blog.
My good friend Kelsi and I (I love pictures, this is your warning!)
1. Start a blog (woo! only 26 more to go)
2. Run a 10k and three 5ks
3. Learn how to braid my hair, and no I’m not talking about the classic braid. This girl needs some variety! I will have to enlist the help of my amazing sister, Jordan, who works at Skyline
4. Make a point to keep in touch with my family out of state more often (call, text, Facebook, send letters, anything really…)
5. Complete a photo-a-day challenge (in it’s entirety)
6. Go skiing at Snow Creek in Weston, MO
7. Start using reusable grocery bags
8. Volunteer my time
9. Earn a raise (mama needs some new shoes!)
10. Read more. First up on this list: Revenge Wears Prada and Banished: Surviving My Years in the Westboro Baptist Church
11. Grow a plant
12. Go on a mini vacation/weekend trip
13. Lose the last 10lbs my body is holding onto because I can’t stop eating cheese and bread-more on my weight loss journey to come
14. Have a movie marathon with my Dad, watching classics like The Breakfast Club
15. Start meditating once a week, even if it’s for 15 minutes (hummmmm)
16. Go to the drive-in movie
17. Save more money (I won’t go into all of the boring details of my finances, but I’ve got a number in my head and I’m going for it!)
18. Go to a concert at Grinders
19. Run/walk/jog/elliptical my way through 1,000 miles
20. Attend a trampoline class at Sky Zone in Kansas City and drag all of my friends along for the ride
21. Try a yoga class
22. Become CPR certified
23. Update the pictures in frames around my apartment
24. Get a skin cancer screening at the dermatologist
25. Attend a First Fridays in downtown KC
26. Make at least three of the many, many projects I’ve pinned on Pinterest
27.Write a letter to myself to read next year at this time
I hope you all have a great Monday! I’m going to pretend it’s Tuesday and see how that goes..
I just turned 26 too! I think this is an exciting, inspiring and creative idea. I love to-do lists and could think of a few things right now that I would love to acheive by 27. Good luck
Hi Annie! Thanks so much for commenting. I’m slightly obsessed with to-do lists myself. It felt good to finally write down/commit to some of the things I’ve been putting off for way too long. I love looking at the goals other people have set for themselves as well, hopefully I’ll see your list soon!
Can’t wait to see how you do with this list! Have you crossed anything else off? xx
Thank you! I have been chiseling away at it, check back and I will have an update soon
