1. Go to a state that I've never been to
Why not expand my state count?
I expanded my state count by 2! Georgia and Kentucky. Granted, I was in airports but hey - I was physically located in the state!
2. Eat crawfish
It's something I've been craving since I ate it for the first time a few years ago
Yum. Yum. Yum. I blogged about this experience.
3. Finish the Book of Mormon
So close but yet so far away.... I'm in 3rd Nephi
Done! I have started again. Something different is learned every time :)
4. Get a smartphone
There have been several instances this past week where it would have been very convenient
This was the first goal accomplished - yay for me and technology! I was one of the first to get the white iPhone 4. When I took it to the Apple store to get a protective cover, the techs were in awe of my phone. It was pretty cool because I'm not usually the envy of others when it comes to technology!
5. Keep a daily journal
Starting tomorrow
Not a daily journal.... but I think I've been doing a lot better
6. Hike to the Y
I've only done this once and it was hard but worth the view!
I did this with Kaleigh - and there was a guy who had already hiked up and back three times that morning. He was super enthusiastic about life. And sweaty.
7. Go camping this summer
I love camping and wasn't able to do it last year
Not this past summer :( But it's already planned for this upcoming summer! Woo hoo!
8. Go on 50 dates
It's a goal my brother-in-law gave me
Definitely not 50 dates. Ha ha. But this year I have dated more than I ever have.
9. Go to a Bee's game
I like baseball games and the fireworks that follow
It was the 24th of July weekend!
10. Help build a house with Habitat For Humanity
I'm good with a hammer
No go for Habitat For Humanity. But I did start volunteering for Rocky Mountain Hospice!
11. Find a piece of old furniture and make it over
What is one man's garbage is another man's treasure
A friend I work with gave me some awesome bar stools she doesn't use anymore. Spray paint, anyone?
12. Go on a cruise
Cause I need to get away!
Yes! Done and done. Best vacation ever! Refer to previous blog post.
13. Read the first Harry Potter book
I always knock H.P. but I guess I should actually read one book so I know what I'm knocking
I read the first three books. I started the fourth but couldn't get past the 4th chapter. 14. Take a ceramics/pottery class
Cause I've always thought clay was fun
I found a place that I want to take a ceramics class! But all classes are full right now. Maybe this summer :)
15. Get lower bowl seats at a Jazz game
'Nuff said
I went to three lower bowl games this season. Pretty awesome for a season that was in jeopardy!
16. Go snowboarding
People look at me like I'm crazy when they find out I'm from Utah and don't do winter sports
I have come to the conclusion that this sport is too expensive for me to get started. Sad day. Maybe in the future!
17. Try to get up on a wakeboard
Cause I can't get up on waterski's
I had the opportunity once this past summer but I was a wuss because the waves were really choppy. Goal for next summer!
18. Learn how to dive (Water dive - not scuba dive)
I'd like to be graceful instead of doing a bomb into the water.
People always gave me the strangest looks when I asked them to help me! Needless to say, it didn't happen. Guess it's still going to be cannonballs into the water for me!
19. Go horseback riding
Just as long as they don't run
This was supposed to happen today! But it didn't turn out. I do have a Groupon for it that expires next month - so giddy up!
20. Run a 5k/participate in a charity walk
Couch-to-5k training!
I did sign up for one in Lindon but failed to go. Running and I don't get along so well. But I will be doing one this summer.... I can now run a 5k thanks to my kickboxing class!
21. Have my only debt be my car and student loans
No one wants debt
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Hold on..... ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Maybe next birthday.
22. Buy a foam mattress topper
Love it!
Thanks to my awesome perks at PwC, I was able to get this through Amazon for just the cost of shipping. I love it! I have gotten a ton of compliments. JK Mom!
23. Go to an outdoor arts festival
Why not appreciate others' talents?
I went to the Chalk Festival at Gateway this past summer. It was amazing what people can do!
24. Take a self-defense class
You can never learn enough
I have learned a lot of moves through my kickboxing class. And it's not just an aerobics class. Real bags. Real handwraps. Real boxing gloves. I have even practiced on the instructor. Don't mess with me. (ilovekickboxing)
25. Learn Spanish
Hola mama!
I know my colors!
26. Go shooting
I don't want to be afraid of guns!
I have had two guys tell me that they will take me shooting and haven't delivered. I promise I'm not THAT uncoordinated.
27. Learn Adobe Photoshop
I want to learn cool picture effects!
My ma has this program on her computer and I've used to for some pictures. Awesome!
I found that having a list of goals and things I wanted to accomplish led to some pretty fun activities this summer! While I didn't accomplish everything, I had a blast doing what I did. Keep your eyes out for my 28 things for 28 years!
