The votes are in. They have been counted and recounted.
And the winning list is "26 things to do while I'm 26." And to my darling sister Abbie....someday I will tell you 26 things you don't know about me.
I've thought a lot about this list today as there are many things that I hope to accomplish. Some things I can't define completely at this time. Some can be accomplished by fulfilling a skill. Others may require more than just this year to master. Some things I was hesitant to put on the list, as if I was saving it for some special reason, the same way I'd save a new outfit, waiting to unveil it at just the right event. But sometimes in saving things, I miss out. So, I came up with a list that includes things I've wanted to do, things I want to continue to do and things that will challenge me in every way. I think Toby Keith said it best: "Why put off for tomorrow, what I could get done today."
1. visit somewhere new, outside the United States
2. get back to my college weight (and maintain it)
3. buy a digital SLR camera
4. get those glasses/contacts the eye dr. said I needed
5. run a marathon
6. read my scriptures every day
7. watch the 6 hour version of Pride and Prejudice
8. plant my own herbs
9. take a dance class
10. learn how to use photoshop
11. visit Nashville (perhaps while doing number 5)
12. get married
13. continue my education
14. learn and perfect one challenging piano piece
15. give away a Book of Mormon
16. try out for American Idol (just once)
17. learn to make homemade ravioli
18. give up resetting my alarm in the morning
19. see a need, fill it, repeat
20. start the personal history of my mom and dad 21. learn italian (at least start)
22. give up wasting time
23. go parasailing
24. hug and kiss more often
25. sacrifice
26. live my life
Yes, it's gonna be a good year after all.
