As baby time is nearing, I've been thinking more and more about how excited I am about our growing family and things that we cannot wait to do with our daughter and other future kids. However, it's also made me think about things that I want to do or accomplish on my own, or just with Greg, in the next few years. I originally started by thinking about things I wanted before I turn 30, but instead, I'm going to keep it to a more realistic, attainable goal list of 25 things by age 25. Which gives me a little less than a year and a half to accomplish. Sure many of these things are simple and some may be dreaming big, but I would love to look back in a year and a half and see what all I have checked off this list! So, here they are and in no particular order:
1. Have a baby =)...(hey, I've gotta start somewhere)
2. Sew a dress or outfit for myself
3. Read at least 3 classics...3 I can think of now: Grapes of Wrath, Catcher and the Rye, Pride and Prejudice (which I should have read in AP lit...but I cliff-noted that one haha)
4. Lose weight. Ideally around 30-40 lbs below pre-baby weight
5. Go on another big vacation, specifically for our 5 year anniversary, to either: Alaska, Jackson Hole, WY; an all-inclusive resort (as originally planned for this Fall), or another cruise.
6. Take a family trip to the beach just the three (or 5 with the pups) of us
7. Take a weekend trip to the mountains or the beach with just girlfriends
8. Brush up on my spanish skills
9. Complete at least 90% of my pinterest sewing or crafting boards
10. Visit a winery and go on a wine-tasting tour
11. Attempt freezer cooking for at least a week or two worth of meals for a month
12. Complete the Couch to 5k challenge
13. Attend a Zumba class regularly
14. Take a photography class or attend a workshop
15. Go camping again with all of our sweet gear that has been used ONCE
16. Attend a couponing class
17. Coupon regularly
18. Move (although I highly doubt this one will be checked off the list anytime soon...thanks crappy economy and housing market)
19. Volunteer at the local soup kitchen with Greg
20. Sew my own cloth diapers
21. Update my entire wardrobe...of course, number 4 has to be checked off first. But let's get real people, before I got pregnant I was still wearing clothes from YEARS ago. However, I did have a HUGE closet clean out to make room for maternity clothes, and I figured I wouldn't be wearing them for a while anyway, so I just donated or trashed them. So this goal may be mandatory after baby anyway.
22. See the musical "Wicked"
23. Go to a food truck event (particularly Food Truck Wednesdays in Virginia Highlands)
24. Try to plant something in our yard that I can keep alive
25. Make it to 26 =)
What's on your to-do list?

Don't you have about 3 weeks until #22?
I think I could help you with #7, 13, and 23....now #18, I'm not to sure I like that one! :)
I will bet you will check off almost all of them! Sounds like you will be busy. Hope #18 means just a different house, same area. :)
Great list and I agree with Cindy, you will probably check alot of them off! #'s 2 and 20... stop by Mary Jo's on the way to NC! #18...sorry girls, I am hoping my girl moves closer to her Mama!!!(Don't see that happening anytime soon, so no worries!)
