Check, Check

Ever since the start of the new year, I've been meaning to set some new goals for myself. But in the craziness of returning to the States and then moving to DC, I haven't made the time to reflect on what I now want out of life.

My senior year of high school, right before I began the new and exciting world of college, I sat down and made a list of about 20 things I wanted to accomplish in my life. They weren't all life goals, but some were. Others were things I wanted to do while at BYU. Last night I took a look at this list, and realized that there were only few left. That means I really needed to write a new list.

And so I did...and here it is:

What I Want to Accomplish in My Life--a list of sorts

1. Get married in the Temple


2. Have a family


3. get a TESOL certificate and teach ESL


4. take the foreign service exam


5. brush up on my Czech and French


6. learn Chinese


7. run a half marathon


8. run a marathon


9. visit my mission


10. work for a non-profit or begin my own


11. have a savings


12. go to hair school


13. travel to Jerusalem


14. see Petra


15. see the Taj Mahal


16. see the Great Wall of China


17. get out of debt.

And that's my newly updated list. Hopefully I'll be able to check off some of those things soon! Goals are exciting, and I'm feeling more hopeful about my future in general. It's not like I haven't had an exciting life thus far, so I'm sure that I'm bound to have a few adventures in my future!

P.S. Look what I'm wearing today!!!

I'm wearing shorts!!! That means winter is no longer here. Huzzah!!!
