24 in 24

In honor of my 24th birthday, I've decided to make a list of 24 things I want to do while I'm 24. This list has been in the process for about 2 months now. There are BIG adventures, small pleasures and everything in between. Some are to be done with a big group of friends, some with family, some with strangers, some with individuals and some alone. Some can be accomplished in one day and others will require a longer commitment.

So here they are......drum roll please.

1.) Read the entire Bible
2.) Learn to drive a standard
3.) Send Christmas cards
4.) Start a book club
5.) Run a marathon (White Rock - Dec 13th)
6.) Subscribe to the Sunday Edition of a major newspaper
7.) Cherish the blessings of my grandparents and great-grandmother (Goal: Go to Olney at least once every six weeks)
8.) Africa - support a child, go on a mission trip, find a charity or GO
9.) Bungee Jump with Reece
10.) Be involved in a children's ministry
11.) Volunteer
12.) Host a wine party
13.) Napa Valley
14.) Learn to sew buttons & tie a tie
15.) Grad School Reunion
16.) Play Fantasy Football
17.) Become ambidextrous
18.) Create a "to die for" recipe book
19.) Visit Raegen in Costa Rica
20.) Study Spanish
21.) Find a career passion
22.) Plant flowers
23.) Make a travel map that marks places I've been and places I want to go.
24.) Say "yes" (don't know to what, to where or to who)

Definitely not all inclusive, but it's a great start for my 24th year.
