Making my way through the list…

On my birthday I came up with 25 things I want to accomplish while I’m 25 years old. I just looked at the calendar and realized last week was my 25th & a half birthday!  So old!  I should be checking things off the list! Let’s see how I’m doing…

The 25 To-Dos While I’m 25

• Run a race!  Last year Andrew and I signed up for a 10k but didn’t end up participating because of the sad news of my great aunt’s passing a couple hours before the start of the rece.  This year, I hope to run a 10k and a 1/2 marathon.  Training begins this week!  Estes Park Half Marathon in June!
  
• Hike 5 14′ers — Definitely on the list: Gray’s, Torrey’s, Bierstadt, Evans
• Watch all of the Rocky movies
• Finish reading The New Testament
• Read 12 books.  1 book a month shouldn’t be too difficult, I just need to make time for reading.
• Travel somewhere out-of-state with Andrew.  This shouldn’t be too difficult since our plane tickets to San Diego have already been purchased Southern California in February!
• Attend the 100th Anniversary of Bay to Breakers in San Francisco (Fail!  I skipped it and instead flew to California for Easter to visit my family)
• Try 12 new recipes and I will be sure to post them!
• Finish my Colorado scrapbook from years 1 & 2 of life in Colorado
• Take the LSAT (bet you didn’t know I was considering this, huh?) (Oops!  No longer interested!)
• Go to a Chiefs game AT Arrowhead
• Attend a SAS reunion since I’ve missed the past few
• Complete a major stuff-cleanse.  This means going through everything, and I mean everything, I own and throwing out or donating a majority of it since I probably don’t even need a majority of it.
• Go horseback riding
• Go camping Dunzo!  Annual bible study camping trip 🙂
• Catch some fish.  A lot of fish. With Andrew. Caught a small mouth bass on the 4th of July weekend… and that was just the beginning 🙂
• Take a road-trip whether that means through Colorado or somewhere else
• Do something at Red Rocks.  Whether it be a movie night, a workout, a picnic, a show, another church service, etc…
• Go to Snooze for breakfast
• Finally make time for some counted cross stitch…. more specifically, make time for the one I started in 2009 that has been neglected
• Go for a bike ride around Denver with Andrew
• Successfully watch the fireworks on the 4th of July, even if it’s raining
• Visit the following while I’m visiting family in California: Yukimi’s (fave restaurant), Big Sur (fave scenery), Monterey (fave place)
• Introduce (the rest, since he’s already met some) of my family to Andrew
• Go on a long hike with Copper in which he survives & thrives. Last year, he made it 9 long miles on a beautiful hike.  He wasn’t even sore the next day.

I have events at Red Rocks & hiking planned and am doing awesome with reading…. but I still have a lot to accomplish!  But so far, so good I suppose 🙂
