25 Before 25

I originally wrote this post here. This page is to keep you updated on which items I've completed!

So thanks to some inspiration from some of my favorite bloggers Mackenzie and Carly, I have decided to come up with my own "25 before 25" list.

I've always been a goal-oriented person (I definitely get that from my dad!) and love having something written down so I can know how I'm doing in my progress of accomplishing those goals, so here we go...

1. Write a list of 25 goals and inspire others to do so. (Please comment me a link to your own list!)
2. Get married (hurry up March 29, 2014!) CHECK! Here are some pictures from our wedding!!
3. Take a girls trip to Napa Valley.
4. Start my own company.
5. Get a full-time job.(October 1, 2013)
6. RUN an entire half marathon (I've ran/walked two before with my sister, it's time I actually run the whole thing!)
7. Attend a blogging conference.
8. Make an address book with contact information for my friends and family. (Already on my way using Postable.com!) (December 2014)

23. Create a budget and stick to it!
24. Go to the gym 3 times a week for a month. (ClassPass January/February 2016)
25. Read 5 books cover to cover. (Might not sound hard for some of you, but I don't think I've read an entire book since high school... I'm more of a movie girl, okay?)

Well there's my list and I can't wait to start crossing things off! I'll keep you all posted on how my goals are coming! :)

Do you like to set time-sensitive goals? What are some of them?
