recap: twenty five by twenty six

Last September I set out to accomplish twenty five goals before I turned twenty six. I am proud to say that I accomplished most of my goals! Below is my list and while some of them were blog worthy, others went under the radar.

1. Start a daily journal 

2. Cook more often 

3. Run another half marathon     

4. Learn to knit or crochet

5. Go to Arkansas        

6. Volunteer somewhere 

7. Practice & become a better faux-tographer 

8. Go to Kentucky 

9. Host a dinner party           

10. Celebrate Friendsgiving 

11. Go to Oregon 

12. Try sushi 

13. Plant a lemon tree

14. Learn to hula hoop 

15. Play sand volleyball 

16. Learn to golf or at least play putt putt golf

17. Plant a real garden

18. Read 1 book per month (at least!) 

19. Eat at a new restaurant  

20. Go to Indiana   

21. Finish our basement! 

22. Ride on a tandem bicycle 

23. Write and mail more letters  

24. Redecorate a room in our house  

25. Go to Tennessee 

I still want to learn to knit/crochet, have a lemon tree and plant a real garden. But, I think I was having a weak moment when I said I'd like to learn to play golf...I'll stick with sports I know and am good at. I learned a lot this year and am proud that I accomplished (most of) my goals. 

I always have a list of things I'd like to accomplish and challenging myself publicly kept me more accountable. I haven't written a list for twenty six by twenty seven, but something tells me that this year will bring a lot of new changes, challenges and adventures without a list.
