25

Today I turn 25. (Remember when I turned 24?) And in honor of this big (read: not that big at all) event I've decided to challenge myself to complete 25 goals --some easy, some more difficult-- over the next 12 months. Wish me luck as I take on this challenge.

Throughout the year I'll be posting photos (likely instagram shots) of each of these 25 goals taking place. Follow along if you like! :)

The List:
1. Go to a major music festival
2. Travel to San Francisco
3. Go rock climbing outdoors
4. Run a half marathon
5. Bake a red velvet cake from scratch
6. Travel to Haiti (tickets are purchased so this IS happening)
7. Purchase a 7D or 5D. The jury is still out on which one for sure.
8. Go one month without making a purchase at Starbucks
9. Send a letter to someone special once a month
10. Teach Oliver how to roll over
11. Stay in my current job for the entire year
12. Try at least 5 new-to-me restaurants in the Indianapolis area
13. Volunteer at a soup kitchen once a month
14. Learn how to change the oil in my car
15. Be able to do 50 full-fledged push-ups in a row.
16. Start taking vitamins daily
17. Buy my parents dinner on a whim. Twice.
18. Host a dinner for at least 4 others
19. Stop illegally downloading music, tv shows, movies, etc…. My bad. (And no one talk to me about Downton Abbey. I'm a walking spoiler alert.)
20. Go camping in a national park
21. Stop taking laundry to my parent's house
22. Get haircuts regularly (every 2-3 months)
23. Read 5 books for fun
24. Stop biting my nails. FOR REAL THIS TIME!
25. Teach Fin the hokey-pokey. Just because.
