20 By 21 List.

In celebration of my twentieth birthday I will be walking the stage in my college graduation.  Which is huge, and I thought, since two significant life changes are occurring on the same day, it would be appropriate to have a "life change" blog post.

I've never been good at life long bucket lists, but I got the idea for a birthday to birthday bucket list from Whimsy + Wild and loved the challenge of it. It's a list of twenty things I want to do by the time I turn twenty one, hopefully I didn't go way over board but I guess we will see next year!

Wish me luck?!

1-- Blog 12 times.

2-- Plan a dinner party for my friends.

3-- See AJ at least twice.

4-- Read 5 new books.

5-- Have 1 photo shoot a month.

6-- Go to the beach.

7-- Try 3 new coffee houses. (Lyon Street Cafe, 

8-- Create something beautiful.

9-- Roadtrip!

10-- Grow closer to my Heavenly Father.

11-- Spend more time outside (Michigan weather permitting).

12-- Try 5 new restaurants.

13-- Journal once or more times a week. 

14-- Develop my "big girl" wardrobe.

15-- Make 10 new friends.

16-- Develop and share 5 original recipes. 

17-- Organize my life / just make the bed!

18-- Dress up more.

19-- Explore my town.

20-- Follow my heart...

I left my last one open ended. A sort of note to myself to be happy, and do what makes me happy.

Alright, I am off to walk across a stage and shake some professors' hands, then eat some food! Whoohoo!
