My very own 25 things

Inspired by Oh, Mishka's 25 things, I've decided to make my own list. It's so nice to actually write down your goals and dreams. My husband is better at that than I am. But it's really true what they say- goals that aren't written down are just good intentions. So because I am a big procrastinator, I am giving myself about a year and half to complete this list. I present to you... drumroll please....

MY 25 THINGS TO DO BEFORE I'M 25.

1. Buy a house... DONE! yay! biggest accomplishment ever.
2. Build my own piece of furniture (drill and all)
3. Stay on a low-carb, low-sugar diet for at least 2 months without cheating
