Hello Bloggers! Today is my birthday so I thought I would do something kind of fun to for the day. So..now I just have to decide what my definition of FUN is. Well, 25 is a big one. I have had all these delightful people inform me that I am a quarter of a century old. Now that my friends sounds old. Yuck! But, I am not going to dwell on that because 25 isn't old - it still really feels young to me. So, in honor of the age of 25 I am going to do a list (yes, a list people...feel free to scan and move on if need be...I will never know)of 25 things I have done or accomplished that I have learned from and grown from and 25 things that I still want to do.
