22 before 23

It only makes sense that I have a birthday bucket list. 

Knit a scarf
I really just want to say that I knit. 

Go thrift shopping
Other bloggers have inspired me. Plus I'm broke. 

Memorize 52 verses; One for every week of the year. 
I have the worst memory but I'm going to give it a try. 

Hike Mount Visoke
Crushin' it. 

Run a marathon 
I really want to come back to Rwanda next year and run in Kigali, but I may have to choose a place closer to home. We'll see. 

 Do a half iron man  
Thinking Oct 6th looks like a good date and the training looks brutal. 

Read the bible front to back
I've done this but not in a years time.

Shoot a gun
I've got my trusty red rider but I'm thinking a real one needs to be present for it to count.

Road trip to Ralphie’s house
Dreams will be coming true. 

Eat a hot dog from a vender on the streets if NYC
It just seems like the cliché thing to do.

Go apple picking
I like apple pie. 

Do a handstand
I did gymnastics once. 

 Ice skate in NYC
232 days till Christmas.

Try a food challenge at a restaurant
I'm a pretty good eater. 

Turn my room into a giant fort
Who wouldn't want to do this?

Spend the night in a hammock
They're just so nice. 

Color run
I'm ready to jump on that bandwagon.

Travel somewhere I’ve never been
A new country would be ideal, but even a new city will do.

Carry a baby on my back
I've lived in Rwanda a year. This needs to happen.

 Read at least two books every month 
I've been reading 3-5 books a month but once school and work starts I think that will be harder to keep up with.

Make two pinterest meals a month
I pinn way too much a do too little. 

Learn the Evolution of Dance
I really don't like to dance. Mainly because I'm bad at it and would rather embarrass myself in other ways. And then I changed my mind when I saw this video. I'm about to get 10X cooler. 

I'm thinking being 22 wont be so bad. 

Crazy May


Drinking the last of my chia tea.  

Appreciating all the little things. 

Watching The Family Stone. I always end up watching it at least once a month. Not because it's great, but because it's comforting. 

Laughing at how crazy this last year has been.  

Waiting patiently. 

Wondering what's next. 

Sleeping to Christmas music. 

Reading
 Frozen In Time, Gone Girl, and Circle Maker. 

Praying
 for guidance.  

Making memories. 

Feeling at a loss for words. 

Getting ready to show off Rwanda to my mom, dad and brother. (13 days and counting!)

Loving His Imbaraga's new website

Crying over goodbyes. 

Listening to Phillip Phillips.  

Acknowledging that things are going to be changing very soon.  

Enjoying every moment. 

Thankful. Just thankful.
