One month left!! 25 Before 25

For those of you that have been with No End In Sight for a while, you might remember that I'm all about the bucket lists, so I made my own list of 25 things to do before I turn 25. In July of 2014, I decided to get started on this list and I have made GREAT progress. While there are a couple things that I logistically didn't work in, I think that by my birthday on May 23, 2016, I think that I'll complete at least 20/25 things BEFORE my birthday. Those last five are set to be scheduled during my 25th year of life!

Anyone want to do any of these with me?!

MY 25 BEFORE 25!!!
1. Complete a mud run. (Completed May 2015) 
2. Get my Concealed Carry license. (May 21, 2016) 
3. Check off another state in my list of places I have traveled.
4. Regularly maintain my blog for at least a year. (Almost two years strong!!) 
5. Go on a mission trip/prayer tour. 
6. Attend a professional sporting event. (Go Blazers and Mariners!)
7. Donate more than $100 dollars to a worthy charity.
8. Visit my grandma in Arizona.
9. Keep a plant alive in my house or on my balcony :) (STILL GOING!)
10. Get my Zumba Instructor Certification. (February 2015) 
11. Camp on the beach. (Will be camping 2 blocks off the beach since it's illegal to camp directly on the beach in Oregon.) 
12. Have two months salary saved in my savings account. (September 2015) 
13. Go snow camping. (TBD in 2016)
14. Ride in a hot air balloon. (No idea how this will happen.... anyone have connections?!)
15. Pay for a strangers coffee.
16. Go fishing with my dad. (TBD in 2016)
17. Make a time capsule to open in 15 years.
18. Test drive a sports car. 
19. Attend an all-weekend music festival.
20. Go on a 10+ mile hike. (May 14, 2016)

And the Extra Five...
21. Take a class, just for fun... I'm deciding on a cooking class!- Alex Savory (Changing it to a sewing class!) 
22. Sell a piece of my own artwork. - Sabrina Bartell
23. Choose a Pinterest project to do each month. - Kelly Meyer (I will try to hit a total of ten between December 2015-May 2016) 
24. Cook my way through a whole cookbook- Danielle Van Buskirk (and baby Matthew) (TBD in 2016)
25. Play "Messy Twister." (Don't know what that is?! Look at the link here!)- Milan Laurent (Spring 2016)

My 25 Before 25: The Update

For those of you readers who have been with me for a while, you might remember that shortly after my 23rd birthday, I made a bucket list. Not a lifetime bucket list, but 25 things I wanted to accomplish before I turned 25. I picked 20 of my own ideas and then opened up the floor to 5 additional suggestions. If you're a newbie to No End In Sight, here's the link to the original post: CLICK ME, I'M A LINK! I also followed that up with the completed list (SEE HERE BECAUSE I'M ALSO A LINK!)

Here we are in the last 6 months before the big quarter century mark and I figured I should probably check in to see where I stand on the whole completed vs. to-do thing. Some of these might be difficult to complete but (with the changes marked in Purple) I am determined for all of them to be completed by the big 2-5.

 MY 25 BEFORE 25!!!
1. Complete a mud run. (Completed May 2015) 
2. Get my Concealed Carry license. (Will do with Kaysea and Emmie, Winter 2016) 
3. Check off another state in my list of places I have traveled. (So far I'm at 41) (New York for My Birthday 2016!) 
4. Regularly maintain my blog for at least a year. (Almost two years strong!!) 
5. Go on a mission trip. (Or multiple day service project!) 
6. Attend a professional sporting event. (Go Blazers! Two games so far!) 
7. Donate more than $100 dollars to a worthy charity. (Charity Ideas are welcome!) 
8. Visit my grandma in Arizona. (March 2016) 
9. Keep a plant alive in my house or on my balcony :) (STILL GOING!)
10. Get my Zumba Instructor Certification. (February 2015) 
11. Camp on the beach. (Illegal in Oregon so I might have to get creative!) 
12. Have two months salary saved in my savings account. (September 2015) 
13. Go snow camping. (Winter 2016) 
14. Ride in a hot air balloon.

18. Pretend I'm really rich and test drive a sports car.
