25 before 25.

Everyone's got em. Whether you've actually written them out or not.
You know, that list. That list of stuff you want to get done before that one big date.


Most people choose to do a 30 before 30...well, seeing as I'm only 22, I'm going to start with a 25 before 25 list first, and see how this goes. I have a TON of stuff I want to accomplish in this little life of mine, but I tried to be realistic as this is under 3 years away now.

This list is to be completed by August 9th, 2016.

1. Be debt free.
2. Once we're debt free, begin my 401K and aggressively save.
3. Run a half marathon.
4. Meet more blog friends.
5. Be vegetarian for a week.
6. Give a very generous, and anonymous gift.
7. 
8. Zip-line.
9. Learn how to sew or knit.
10. Take a cake decorating class.
11. Go out west somewhere.
12. Finish my Bible cover to cover.
13. Donate my hair.
14. Grow my blog to 1,000 readers.
15. Break a 28 minute 5K.
16. Donate blood for the first time.
17.Visit a historical US city with Caleb.
18. Read 50 new books.
19. Plan an incredible trip with our best friends.
20. Update my DSLR/lens collection.
21. Be confident in my cooking.
22. Get a professional massage.
23. Be up to date on all my photo books.
24. Take a ballet class to rekindle my love for it.
25. Learn calligraphy.

I hope I can do all of this, and I'm determined to make it happen!

  3. I love lists like this! It makes it more fun to be able to cross things off! I started my 101 things in 1001 days list last year and I love it! Hope you are able to accomplish every single one :)

  9. You are THE cutest 22 year old I've ever laid eyes on! I always assumed you were older, but you're a youngin. I'm so jealous :) I have this thing where I'm scared to turn 30, so I started a 30 before 30 list to help aid in the transition. I think my logic will help anyways?? Haha!! P.S. when you go Zip Lining, let me know how you like it! I've always wanted to!

You know Austin, Texas has some historical Texas things that I could meet up to show y'all. Orrrrr I could go to DC and y'all could meet me there. hehe YAY for 25 before 25. You've got so many great things planned. I love it.

  21. I'm a little late, but I LOVE your list. We have a few that are the same (although mine is before I'm 30... which I'm not too far away from). YAY for lists!!!

  22. I just recently found this blog (through a giveaway, I believe) and loved this list! I'm thinking of doing my own. I'll definitely link back to your page when it's done. Thanks for the idea!

  23. My precious, it is time to start marking some of these as completed :)

  24. Hey Kayla! I hope that you did not forget about your commitment, or worse, you didn't hide it in the deep corners of the internet where nobody could ever see it again. There's still so much to do and the time is out! Whatcha gonna do? You're 27 now. That's the age when Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse died, either of suicide or accident. Bet you have exactly a year to save the situation. Don't leave the world with work still to do. Finish everything like a hero.
