My friend Allie just posted this on her blog and I decided that it was a GREAT idea, so I decided to make one of my own. I'd love to look back at this on my birthday and see every one of these crossed off. I've made sure that none of these are impossible, but that they'll take work.Some of them won't take much work, but I've got to see some progress to keep me going! :) But really, it would be silly for me to plan a list like this that could be accomplished by next week. Its funny, I think you learn a lot about people's character and the things that are really important to them when you see what their goals are. I hope that you're not disappointed in who I am when you see the things that I'd like to accomplish by June 2, 2011


27 things to do/be doing before I turn 27:

1 lose at least 30 lbs

3 enjoy date night with my husband at least once a month
4 have a consistent quiet time
5 make a new close friend

7 rekindle an old friendship
8 give away all of my unnecessary things (clothes, furniture, etc.) to someone who needs it
9 take Wesley camping again
10 change a child's life (one that isn't my own)
11 join some kind of singing ensemble
12 cook breakfast one day a week
13 stop drinking diet coke
