I'm 25.....Yes.

I know it has been a HOT MINUTE since I've updated the blog, but I've had so much going on that I feel like I've hardly had time to breathe! Here's just a few updates on life:
1. I had a part time job, quit the part time job, and am now enjoying my summer.
2. I completed my first semester of grad school with straight A's and am already ready to be finished with my degree!
3. I'm in the process of buying a townhouse! It's a short sale....and nothing about a short sale is short. There's nothing official yet, but trust me I will keep everyone posted.
4. My sorority sisters have been getting married left and right and it's been such a great opportunity to visit with everyone!
5. Next year at school is the first year I will not be teaching cp2. It's both exciting, nerve-wracking, and a little sad. CP2 are students who are not tracked to go to college and while I'm thrilled to be working with CP students this year, I'm a little sad to be leaving my sweet, precious cp2 babies. It'll be okay.

I was reading another blog that I follow who had a list of 30 things to do before I'm 30. Now that I'm 25, as of Monday of this week, I think I need to make a bucket list of my own. I don't know that all of this will be accomplished before I'm 30, but here are the top 25 things I want to do in my life, hopefully before I'm 30.

1. Go on a wine tour through Italy.
2. See Chris Young and Luke Bryan in concert. (Half of this will be done this weekend!)
3. Get married.
4. Take a picture next to my last name's sign in Croatia.
5. Attend a Cleveland Browns game in Cleveland.
6. Pay off all my debt, including student loans.
7. Own a home. (:D)
8. Learn how to shoot a gun and go hunting.
9. Attend a Houston Texans game and get a picture with my PHS  c/o 2006 classmate, TJ Yates.
10. Have a cocktail on my birthday with Tory Burch, since we share a birthday.
11. Celebrate a white Christmas with my family.
12. Eat at Tom Collichio's Craft restaurant.
13. Go on a historical, literary based trip to England.
14. Rescue a puppy.

Here's hoping that I have lots of fun!
