25 Things Before I'm 25

In my earlier posts I made a list of 25 things I hoped to accomplish before I turned 25 in September. Here, I thought I'd recap the list and what I have worked on or already crossed off since April.

Lose 40lbs

Be a good mom

Finish a decor project on my own

Start running at least twice a week

Quit drinking pop

Wear clothes that aren't black

Go somewhere I've never been

See Pearl Jam and Queens Of The Stone Age live

Visit my grandparents more often

Start a vegetable garden

Purchase a large item

Learn at least 3 new patterns to sew

Get my wisdom teeth pulled

Face a fear

Buy flowers just because

Go on a road trip

Straighten out my credit

Broaden my musical taste 

Learn to knit

Commit to blogging daily

Have my first garage sale

Change my hair

Make a new friend

Eat healthier

Get another tattoo

There are some that I've really tried and haven't crossed off yet because I haven't fully accomplished, such as being a good mom and sewing new patterns. I have learned new things for sewing but I want to keep pushing myself. 

Finish A Decor Project On My Own I have done this! The bathroom was a horrible cream yellow and clay red and I've painted it shades of purple and after I've done the finishing touches I will definitely show everyone.

Start A Vegetable Garden :: While I haven't started a veggie garden (we're waiting until next year to do that) I have started over 3 flower gardens with my mom! We've done basically nothing since we moved here except clean up the yards and plant, plant, plant, weed, weed, weed and plant some more.

Purchase A Large Item :: We did this as soon as we moved in. For Jesse's birthday we finally purchased a big screen tv. We've been wanting one for awhile and it was our first major purchase as a couple (after 6 years!) I'm pretty proud of it even though I don't think we really needed a 50" but Jesse insisted...

Commit To Blogging Daily :: I feel like I've done a pretty good job at this. Aside from Sundays, I always make sure I have a good post for every day and will continue to do so even after I turn 25.

Change My Hair :: Before we moved, I went and got my roots touched up and decided to get bangs again. It's not a drastic change by any means, but it's a lot different for me, considering I've always had long straight, boring hair. 

I'll be honest, I haven't been working really hard towards most of these goals, but I have been thinking about the list and what I can set out as realistic goals, easy goals, and which ones I may not accomplish, but at least I can try and say I did. There's no saying whether or not I'll lose weight, or be the best mom ever, but at least if I'm trying, I can grow and learn to feel better about myself. 

What have your goals been this year, and have you accomplished any yet?
