24 Before 25

Linking up with my sweet friend, Anna Elizabeth via...

Check out Anna's "24 Before 25" list here!

With less than half a year left until my next birthday, I better get started tackling my "24 before 25" list below. I am going to try to squeeze in all 24 goals before turning 25 (eek!) in November. I tend to find myself overwhelmed as I shuffle through tons of little post-it note lists shoved into my planner daily - lists for recipes I want to make and trips I hope to take, lists for restaurants to try and movies to see. The lists go on and on (no pun intended!). My hope is that this *one* list reminds me of both the small and loftier goals I hope to accomplish within the next six months.

1. Make homemade pasta.

2. Plan Mount Rainier climbing trip with dad :)
