birthday list

I have never been more grateful to have a garage! it is frigid here in MN! everything is canceled  except work:( and I am under my wool blanket listening to Christmas music again:) I am not sure how it got to be eight o'clock so quick though, I didn't even have to go anywhere after work! I needed groceries my fridge is pretty empty but I wasn't about to carry groceries in this cold! So I will live on cheese (that I ate the last of for supper) and oatmeal until it warms up outside!

Birthday List (26)

It sounds like there should be a blizzard going on outside it is SO windy and cold! I am not sure if I am ready for that though. I am thinking it would be ok to come home from Europe to piles of snow on the ground though:) I honestly have to keep reminding myself that I am leaving the country! I have never done that before! Seriously! Holy CRAP! IT IS HAPPENING! I am so thankful for the opportunity!

This past weekend I celebrated my 27th birthday! It was a great birthday spent with family! Wine lots of wine and delicious homemade food from my Mom! SO GOOD! She is such an amazing cook! I wanted to post pictures, but I forgot my camera at my parents!

Here are a few from my phone.

I LOVE her smile!

They are all so darn cute!

A sweet birthday package that I just got in the mail today from Maggie! 

We have an owl thing, and these glasses are so cute! I love them! She also gave me bath salts from Lolia in the scent Close! I'm taking that scent of lotion to Europe with me! Love Lolia!

Remember my birthday list from last year? It's a bucket list of the things I want to accomplish in the next year! Here is my last years list and how I did!

2) Go cross country skiing.

3) Take a trip out of the country I am counting this one!!!

Birthday list

{26}
I got this great idea from Becs Little Black Blog to make a bucket list of sorts, of the things that you want to accomplish in the next year! So I decided to get on bored with this great idea! Thanks Bec! I'm behind since my birthday was back in November but oh well! Your supposed make the list on your birthday!

The rules!

a. 12 items only.  In theory, complete one a month for that year.
b. you can replace items with equally good (and attainable) goals through the year but they have to be deemed worthy by the other person.
c. whatever you don’t finish in that year carries over to the next year.
d. dream no small dream.

1) Go downhill skiing

2) Go cross country skiing.

3) Take a trip out of the country

4) Go on a mission trip

5) Get back into coaching figure skating (hence the revision of my resume!)

6) Go to Girl and The Goat when I am in Chicago over new years.

7) Take my niece and nephew ice skating

8) Grow my blog and get 50 GFC followers! Baby steps right?

9) Do a color or mud run!
10) Start taking classes to complete my bachelor's degree.
11) Go water skiing
12) Read all the books on my to read list

Just writing this makes me feel even more accountable for achieving my goals! I can't wait to make them happen! 

What are some of your goals in life?
