I have just over a year left of my 20’s. The last year has been a whril-wind with celebrating my 5 year wedding anniversary on my first cruise in Hawaii, my marriage almost breaking apart, my marriage getting better and now being better than ever, learning to knit and loving it, and meeting an awesome group of girls through church that are my age. What will the next year bring? Maybe a pregnancy? Here’s hoping!

How I did it: I took a knitting 101 class at a local shop in town to learn knitting, purling, cabling, and basic knitting terminology. The final project was a sampler scarf that consisted of different pattern squares. Read how I did it…
How I did it: The college was organizing trips and Habitat for Humanity in South Carolina was one of them. I signed up, got in a van and rode to the site. I had the chance to put up a roof and siding and paint. Read how I did it…
How I did it: On Barr Trail (about 26 miles round trip). Hiked up to Barr Camp about halfway up the mountain on day 1 and rested the rest of the afternoon. Started out at 8 a.m. the next morning and reached the summit around 1:30 and headed back down (after eating and resting of course) to camp for the night. Got back to the car around 9:30 a.m. The last day coming down was very painful. Read how I did it…

This took a few years. I wasn’t always good about keeping my list up to date, so I may have accomplished this last year. It was fun to read different books and will continue reading.
Being an inexperienced kayak person on the Pacific Ocean off the coast of HI on an excursion, I didn’t have fun. The waves and currents made me nervous. If you love the water and have some good upper body strength, go for it! It just wasn’t for me.
