25 Before 26

So today is my birthday. I am actually pretty excited about it. I always do the same thing – I begin freaking out at the beginning of the year about my birthday. Then half way through I start to realize how silly that is and begin to embrace the fact that I am blessed to have gotten a another year of life under my belt.

This year I decided to give myself a little challenge and create my very own 25 before 26 list. Basically starting today I have one year to complete these 25 goals that I’ve made for myself. Some take major planning while others just consist of me making a piñata! ;)

Of course, I had to post the list so you all make me accountable for doing everything on this list. Excited that you will all be joining me in this little adventure!
