So, I decided that I am pretty boring..... and that no one would want to read about what I ate or what I did at work. :) That got me thinking that I want to actually do stuff this year. This inspired me to create a bucket list for this year so that I can write about my awesome adventures. That would give me motivation and hopefully make it seem like my life is more exciting. :)
I wanted to break this us into categories so that I can see what areas I'm improving in. I'm super excited because there are some things I've always wanted to do on this list, but have never really perused very hard.
The 4 categories that I chose to work on were School, Spiritual, Personal, and of course the all inclusive Fun/ Other category.
I'll start off with school... because it's shortest.
School
*Get Associates degree
*Finish Bachelor's degree in 3 more semesters
(technically that will be 2014, but I am closer than I thought so this counts).
Spiritual
*Read the complete Bible.
(I figured that if I do 5 pages per day I can read the whole thing in a year.) This will take dedication and everyday effort, but we will see how much I have to crunch in at the end. I also am nervous about the Old Testament because let's face it.... It's confusing. :)
*100 hours of service.
This can include any small act of service. I believe that when you are helping and focusing on others that you are going to be happier and have a lot more energy in your everyday life.
I actually helped out a man once by just giving him a sandwich and he was so grateful it was just amazing being able to put a smile on someone else's face. It's definitely contagious.
*Go to the temple 50 times this year
(this will mean at least once a week) :) I just love the peace the temple brings ... even if you just sit near it you can feel something special.
Finally *Temple marriage or go on a mission
Now... this one isn't really up to me, but I know if I don't do one now I will definitely do it later. So no matter what I will be doing both of these. I may just be older when one comes about. This one isn't really in my control if you know what I mean. ;) I just know for sure one or the other will happen this year.
Personal
* Learn to sew.
I got an awesome sewing machine for Christmas..... I just don't know how to use it. :) I can sew a bean bag if anyone needs one though. :)
* Go hiking at least 30 times this Summer
This one was inspired by my amazing boyfriend Jarom Later, and I hope I can do a lot of this with him!
*Blog at least once per 2 weeks.
I would say every week... but school is coming up and my life may not be too exciting when that starts. (18 credits!!!)
*Learn the Banjo
I don't know why I had the desire to do this, but it all started about 6 months ago. It's a funky instrument and I don't know a lot of people who play so I thought that would be LEGIT!
*Dejunk my room
This may take all year!
And Finally the BEST category
FUN!!!!!!! (WAHOOOO)
*Try a new food
I'm thinking way out of the box. I've done Sushi, bugs (from China and even a weird bacon flavored Grasshopper for a dare from my track team), so I don't really know what this will be.
*Snowboarding
I'll let you know if I die. I'm prone to accidents and being a klutz.
*Take a road trip
This may have to be to somewhere close if I take my car.... I've only been able to get a gallon at a time in. Dang ghetto, but awesome car. :P
*Visit my grandma in Colorado.
This could kill 2 birds with one stone here.
and last but not least my FAVORITE GOAL!!!
I've always wanted to be a mascot. I was supposed to be a tooth for my company party at the pool, but when they took it to the dry cleaners so it wouldn't make me pass out from the nasty leftover B.O. they left it at the office.
I would love to go to Chick Fil a and say... "I'll work for a Chicken sandwich if you let me be your cow!" HAHA that would be epic.
I wouldn't be the lame mascot who just stands there. If anyone knows me I'd be jammin' out and dancin' all over the place. I am seriously going to do this... or at least go back to my work and be the tooth. Either way pictures and awesomeness will follow.
Anyways, that's my Bucket list for 2013 so be sure to check in and see my crazy self. I also am entertaining the idea of having a guest blogger, my roommate Shelby, because apparently we were supposed to start a blog together and I missed that memo. She also said she is too flaky to start her own which totally makes sense now that I've started my own. :)
My dad wants me to watch Star Wars with him so I guess I"m done here! :)
PEACE!
