Some of you who've been reading for awhile might recognize a few of these from my 22 things to do before I turn 22 list. Remember how I jokingly put a 23rd item at the end that said "Get pregnant."? Well, turns out, that actually happened. And then I became horribly ill for 3 months straight, so I wasn't doing much of anything unless it involved my bed or my toilet. Sadly, this meant that many of the things on my list didn't get accomplished. Here's a copy of the list showing what I did manage to do. note: Some items weren't accomplished until after my birthday, but I decided to count them because I did at least make an effort to do them..and plus, I couldn't use them on this list if I'd done them already.
22.
4. Exercise every day, except Sunday.
5. Visit the "English Village Shoppe and Tea Garden" that I drive by every day on my way to work.

I love this list! I have confidence you can do it too! I'd say write me but I so enjoy following each other's blogs and wouldn't want to take the joy of you writing to someone away from them hehe. I hate running and in my mid 20's, I lived with a track girl and somehow I ended up running a BUNCH of 5Ks (under 30 minutes!), 10Ks, and to date.. a 15K (my longest EVER!) - so if poor pathetic runner me can do it, I know you can too! Also, camping sounds like fun! I have been inspired to come up with a list for 31... ! you can do camping - without a phone or internet - i did it once too for two weeks hehe YOU CAN DO IT! I can't wait to read about it!
Ummm San Francisco can definitely happen!! You can totally stay with us, and we will love on little London. Seriously, come!
Mmmm I like these goals.
Devin's Aunt is the best tour guide ever. She lives 30 minutes from San Francisco and I could give you her email if you would like to know all of the great sites to go. She literally takes a map every time we go and puts a sticky note on each location in SF so we can pick things in the same area on the same day.
Also, I have been trying to get past chapter 2 on the novel I am writing. I am great at character development, but have a difficult time implementing a very important thing called plot.
Well you need to run a 5k with me and Hope- how fun would that be? Well we will run behind her, but you get the idea. I am so proud of you setting goals and seeking to try new things- it makes life more fun!
