23 things.

i have been inspired by michelle {and lots of others, but her blog is where i first saw it} to make a list of 23 things i want to do before my 24th birthday. i started making this list when i was making out my new year's goals, so i've actually completed two of them already.... yay!

hopefully i can do them all before my birthday on july 9th, 2010! wish me luck!

so there we go... 23 things i want to do before i'm 24. fun things but also maybe a little challenging. i wanted to put down skydiving, but i don't know if i will have a chance to actually do that before my birthday... it is on my "life list of things to do" though.. and it'd be awesome to do this year. i've only been wanting to do that for the past 5 years.

anyway. i hope i can get them all done! we shall see...
