26 things to do while I'm 26 - update

I'm not sure I will remember if I wait until the end of the year to see how I'm doing on this list!

1. Go to the zoo

2. Blue Bell fun run - that didn't work out, but I'm doing a different 5k in May

3. Decorate Master bedroom - progress! We bought two Ikea Rast dressers to use as nightstands and I painted them black. Next up is to get something on our walls, and maybe a headboard and new comforter. I might be dreaming here.

4. Take a class/learn a new skill or hobby - painting! I went to a RS activity where a class was taught and I've done a few little paintings on my own since then. I'm definitely not good, but I'm learning and its fun.

5. Host a party - I'm going to go ahead and count Millie's and Max's birthday gatherings for this!

6. Read the Book of Mormon - currently in Mosiah.

7. Sew 4 items of clothing - 1 down (Easter dress), 3 to go.

8. Go to the beach

9. Complete 72-hr kits

10-14. Read _____ - I wanted to have specific books in mind for these, but at this point I'll just be happy to read a few books at all! I have read 2 so far, but don't bother asking me which ones. Your guess is as good as mine.

15. Read Preach My Gospel

 16. Go to the temple 12 times - We've been 2 times, so we have some catching up to do! Busy season got the best of us on this one.

17. Try a new workout

18. Make/makeover 1 piece of furniture - nightstands! Thanks Ikea! Someday I'll buy pretty drawer pulls. I intentionally did not paint these ones so that they would bug me enough to actually do it. It is so nice to have the same nightstand - Tyler had plastic drawers and I had that $7 Ikea table previously. This is SO much better.

19. Make fish at home

20. 12 Dates w/Tyler - we've done 3 so far!

21. Go to a concert or play

22. Go somewhere I've never been - we'll go ahead and count Top Golf for that! Fun times.

23. Print both kids' baby books - I printed Millie's, but now I need to make and print Max's.

24. Get Honor Bee award and buy new medallion

25. Go one month without sugar - done! March was not my favorite month, for a few reasons, but no sugar certainly contributed.

26. Decorate living room - I put up a bunch of pictures on the big wall, not sure what else I want to do in there yet. But every little thing helps a ton!

26 things to do while I'm 26

I had a birthday! It was a rather uneventful day as far as typical birthdays go, but that's how I wanted it. I felt kind of celebrated out, if that's a thing. I'm thinking maybe I should start celebrating my half birthday instead. But I did get to go grocery by myself, so hooray for that! I took a "I'm in the car alone" selfie to remember the moment.

 Later we had fun playing games with the Juergens crew, including McKenna's family that came to town for their open house. Wits and Wagers is so fun!

Anyway, on to the real reason for this post. I love setting goals and I've been a little experimental in how I do it in the last few years. This year, I decided to embrace my love for to-do lists and come up with 26 things to do while I'm 26. Some are small and silly, others large and important! Hopefully there's a good enough balance and I'll be able to get them all done.
