27 in my 20's



Well, here we are - birthday #28 is tomorrow! Kind of weird to think that I'm deep in my 20's!

I was totally inspired by Wit & Whistle's birthday bucket list that I decided to make my own. Here's hoping I'll actually do all 27 of these things!

:: Realistic UPDATE ::

Who knew when I wrote this post over a year ago that we would flip our lives upside down? Selling a home, quitting my full-time job, finding a new apartment in the city, getting used to city culture after six years in the suburb and so much more all became a priority over many of my bucket list items! I still want to do these things and I turn 30 next year, so I'm changing this list to 27 in my 20's. Here's to finishing up my 20's!
