Update: 25 before 25

Last August I shared a list of things that I wanted to do before I turned 25, a bucket list of sorts.
My 25 before 25. And then I updated it here in January.

I've got 2.5 months left until I turn 25. 104 days.
So I thought I'd do a little update. Things in blue probably won't happen. Things in yellow, they may. Things in green- I'm determined.


Sell something that I made.
Shop the 400 mile yard sale with my Gran. - but I will shop at other yard sales with her. Love them!

Take Olivia to the Memphis Zoo {where Chance and I got engaged.}

Visit Maria again in Springfield, TN. {By myself} - well kind of, she went with me to (in)RL.
Visit Nikki in Lexington, VA. {With Olivia}
Visit Ashley in Newport News, VA {By myself}

Visit my family in Texas. - My Uncle Barry came to town and Olivia got to meet him, so that was a happy compromise for me.

Visit my family in South Carolina. - I did get to visit with them when they came here!

Finish our house.

Get a new car.

Finish Olivia's quilt.

Re-finish a piece of furniture.

Take Olivia to the St. Louis zoo again.
Take Olivia to Mommy and Me gymnastics classes. - she's going in the fall. {Right Dana?!}
See Beth Moore speak in person. - I didn't do this, but I did get to meet Angie Smith in person, which is a pretty big deal to me.

Finish "1,000 Gifts" by Ann Voskamp

Run a 5K.

Actually celebrate our 5 year anniversary with Chance.

Have a yard sale.

Host a sew day to benefit ConKerr Cancer.

Get a massage. - I'm ashamed to say that I've already allowed one spa gift certificate to expire. It won't happen again!
Make a quilt for Lindsay's baby. - as you can read here, Wyatt was born on January 11th. Thus, putting me way behind on this one.

Finish Olivia's baby book.

Take and edit Kelsey's senior pictures. - she graduates on May 25th. Ugh. So sorry Kels.

Complete the "Night Light" devotional with Chance.

I've accepted that some of these things simply aren't going to happen. With a busy, busy 2 year old and me going back to work full-time it is a constant battle to keep from drowning in all the laundry, scheduling and day to day doing. I've had to say no to a few things. Some of them I really didn't want to say no to, but I'm a better Mommy and wife for having done it.

7 months to go...

25 Before 25

Today I turn 24.
Please don't sing me the birthday song. I hate it. Really. I cried at my 5th birthday bash.

I'm not one to get excited over age. Truthfully, I've never felt my "age" anyway.
But today is a bit different. Today I feel the need to do something. Lots of things actually.
So I'm making a "bucket list" of sorts for this next year. Things that I want to do or accomplish. Things that I want to show Olivia. Places I want to see.

So without further ado.
Here are my 25 things to do before I'm 25 {in no particular order}:

Sell something that I made.
Shop the 400 mile yard sale with my Gran.
Take Olivia to the Memphis Zoo {where Chance and I got engaged.}
