My Birthday List

I finally finished my list just this morning. 

Yesterday was a WONDERFUL 25th Birthday. My husband blessed my heart dearly by planning the whole day with careful detail. We enjoyed a morning of donuts (crazy donuts mind you, topped with M&Ms and gummy worms, can we say SUGAR) and drove to Boise despite the weather to enjoy shopping and family time......He let me have mommy shopping time too with a special dinner for the two of us once we got home. We went to a local coffee house and played a card game together before he brought me back to mom and dad's house to a surprise Bunko party!! :) (SO FUN) Thanks to everyone who braved the weather to come, I love you guys....

Back to the LIST......I've been mulling over this list for quite some time. And I knew I wanted to post it after my 25th birthday. I've made a list of 25 things or goals I want to achieve yet in my lifetime. Some obviously I've already started on, but not finished.....others are years in the future but who knows!! Above all, I desire that my heart would align with the heart of my Father, and that I would want what He desires for my life, nothing else. BUT, if I get the opportunity....here's some things I'd like to do.....
