23 Things To Do Before I Turn 24- The Checklist



1. Take a picture a day for a year (and blog about it here) I tried and made it through August... better than nothing, I suppose

2. Get a really short haircut (Shaynah and I already have it planned)

DONE! May 2011.
3. Go to Washington D.C. for Liz's 21st birthday (to see our aunts and visit Peter!) A bummer that we didn't make it- perhaps next year?

4. Move (either to Colorado or just out of the house)
5. Sky dive!
6. Pay off at least one of my student loans
7. Start a "Colorado Chalet" fund so someday I'll have enough money tucked away to buy that house
8. Wear more skirts and dresses... when the weather cooperates

I have so many dresses and I'm actually wearing them!  Getting the job at VB was the best thing for my dress addiction.
9. Volunteer weekly
It hasn't exactly been weekly but definitely monthly with these bulletin boards, not to mention the walks I've been doing and the food shelf for half the year.  I think I'm doing the right amount of volunteering.
10. Have a mothers/daughters tea with the girls
Our mother/daughter/sister/cousin tea!  That space on the right is for my mom who had a migraine and was napping and Kasi (Jaci's sister) who arrived later.  It was a lovely time!  Hopefully we can do it again this spring and everyone will be able to attend.  January 2011.
11. Road trip!  I don't care where or with whom, I've just never done it
Liz & I drove to Wisconsin Dells, Madison and Chicago for a 4-Day-Weekend!  July 2011

12. Photo shoot
Abby took lovely pictures of me (for the maurices modeling contest) and some fun ones of Heidi and me on Friday.  It was so much fun and exactly what I wanted to do!  I just wish we could have taken pictures all day!  April, 2011.
13. Visit Colorado with someone fun

14. Get a tattoo
15. Father-Daughter date doing whatever my dad wants to do 

Gopher hockey game vs. Michigan State.  I bought the tickets, he picked the game.  November 2010.
16. Make a quilt

17. Have another amazing dinner party

Liz's 21st birthday BBQ, June 2011
18. Make it to all of the Parasole restaurants in the Twin Cities- Manny's Steakhouse, Chino Latino, Salut Bar Americain, Muffuletta, Pittsburgh Blue Steakhouse, Good Earth, The Living Room, Prohibition, Burger Jones (I went twice within a week in July but failed to take pictures of either event...), Il Gatto, Uptown Cafeteria
Salut Bar Americain in St. Paul, July 2010
The Living Room and Prohibition bars @ the W Hotel, November 2010
Chino Latino for EmK's 21st birthday, December 2010
Good Earth- Nina and I had breakfast after the St. Jude walk.  It was okay, November 2011.
Pittsburgh Blue- for Trudy and my birthdays this year, January 2012
19. Go camping, even if its just in the backyard

20. Catch a concert at First Ave

Panic! at the Disco = best concert ever,  June 2011
21. Find a drive in movie (and perhaps borrow someone's convertible for an extra awesome experience)

22. Go to the zoo!

Saturday adventure day at the MN Zoo with Tyler, Janelle and Liz, April 2011
23. Stop at the 5-8 Club for a Juicy Lucy (I've been craving one for months)
