SO proud of my accomplishments so far this year. Keep it coming!)

4. Rent a house.
Don't really have to worry about this until September, but I'll admit I already
started looking on Craigslist. Then I realized how much it sucks to look for a
place to live and stopped! Phew!
5. Ride my bike to Denver.
6. Keep one plant alive for an entire year.
So far, so good! Our money tree is actually sprouting new little leaves and stems!!
7. Lost 10 lbs OR two sizes.
I started on the Herbalife "diet" (I hate saying I'm on a diet... It's more of a lifestyle
thing for me!) Check out Rightfitt Nutrition for more information (if you're in the
Northern Colorado area!)
8. Read 10 books.
a. A bunch of Stephen King books.
b. A book about a flu pandemic.
c. I'm thinking about starting in on the Hunger Games. Yes? No?
9. Document my 25th year through pictures.
So far, I'm doing alright. I'm going to start nagging Justin to take more pictures
because ME taking pictures means I'm taking pictures of OTHER PEOPLE's lives
during MY 25th year. Hmph!
10. Continue on my path to becoming a Hygenius. (Genius Dental Hygienist!)
I LOVE YOU, SHANNON!
11. Run at least one more 10K.
12. Try 25 new recipes.
(A few below, but for more SUCCESS/FAILS check out my
"Defying the Pinterest Stereotype Pinboard HERE)

13. Build a bridge with my sister.
Trying. . .
14. Re-vamp my wardrobe.
Waiting on #7! Polyvore helps =)
15. Complete 10 DIY projects.
Again, check out my Pinterest HERE. So far, I've done. . . Bowties, Valentine Chapsticks,

16. Get a smart phone and not kill it.
Keeping my fingers crossed!
17. Go on a cruise.
No plans yet, but I'm totally open!
18. Go on a hot air balloon ride.
Making reservations TODAY for our 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
19. Get all eight Harry Potter movies.
Done. Watch all eight Harry Potter movies = DONE! Now I get to start playing the
Lego Harry Potter I got for Christmas! Haha!
20. Call one family member per week (not counting my mom or dad!)
Not doing so hot on this one. I call my Mom at least every week. Talk to my Nana,
Aunt Deni, Aunt Lisa, Papa, too - But I'll get back on this!
Start scheduling in my planner!
21. Volunteer for at least one dental event.
Been doing research, but haven't found THE ONE yet. So why not do them all??
22. Have a dinner party.
In the planning stages. I'll probably end up with 73 by the end of my 25th year.
Not even something to complain about!
Get ready for dinner parties galore, friends!
23. Celebrate three years with the love of my life.
August 28, 2012 - Let the countdown begin! 140 days!
24. Take one vacation by myself.
Also in the planning stages. Going to take a weekend by myself.
Maybe take a pup along? Gotta get those vacation juices flowing!
25. Buy (and use) one new attachment for my KitchenAid.
These buggers are EXPENSIVE! And I can't quite find a need for any of them enough
to shell out $60+. . . This one might not get done. Maybe I'll do one recipe with
each of the attachments it came with.
Bread hook, whisk and regular paddle - Here I come!
26. Turn 26!!
Let me check - yep, I still have a heartbeat. On the right track!

Happy being held accountable!
