The List

“In life we do things. Some we wish we had never done. Some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads. They all make us who we are, and in the end they shape every detail about us. If we were to reverse any of them we wouldn’t be the person we are. So just live. Make mistakes. Have wonderful memories. But never ever second guess who you are, where you have been, and most importantly where it is you’re going”

This blog has been a long time coming. I’ve been toying with the idea for years now. Finally, everything has come together and I actually have something to write about. Oh, life! What a rollercoaster ride!

I turned 25 on August 31^st. I can honestly say that it was my very best birthday to date! I had the most memorable day. I have some of the greatest friends on the planet. I do have the best family! That is for sure! Up to that point, I had been working on a list, a list of things that I want to accomplish during the next year. There are 25 ideas that I came up with. I’d like to give a shout out to all of my awesome friends who gave me great ideas for my list, too! You all rock! The list is called ‘Twenty-five Before Twenty-six.’ I know, original. ;) Blogging for about a year is actually on the list. Hence, this blog. <3

Here is my complete list:

Twenty-five Before Twenty-six

As of right now, I’m working on reading the Book of Mormon, going to the temple, becoming a morning person, and in the morning I’m starting my half-marathon training. I’ll go into detail about the different goals and such, eventually.

Hopefully this will be fun, since I’m in this for at least a year!

Now for a smile....

I die. Every time! ;)
