25 Before 25

Eek! I've done the unthinkable: lapsed on my promise to myself to keep me weekly blog posts going-TWICE! Unconscionable. But If you will forgive me, I'm currently taking a break on my vacation to the Sunshine State just to update here. I was reading a blog a few days ago about a couple that traveled the world for 6 months as a honeymoon. That accomplishment alone made me want to know more about these crazy adventurers. While browsing their blog (I'll copy and paste the link below so you can too-I highly recommend it!) I found a list the Mrs. of the site had written. It was called a 25 before 25. 25 things she wanted to accomplish before turning 25. As highly ambitious person and an anal list maker, this sounded like pure brilliance to me. So here it is, my own 25 before 25 list:

1. Learn to scuba dive
2. Take an Akashic Records class
3. Visit New Orleans with my mom
4. Visit a voodoo woman in NOLA
5. See the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam
6. Swim at the beach in Cinque Terre
7. Graduate from nursing school
8. Pass the NCLEX on my first try
9. Start working in an ICU
10. Move into an apartment with one of my best friends
11. Do a cabin weekend with some friends at Lake Cumberland, Red River Gorge, or Pigeon Forge
12. Buy my first electric guitar (I really, REALLY want a Fender Strat)
13. Lose 60 lbs
14. Get my CCRN
15. Eat as many carbs as humanly possible during next summer's Italy trip
16. Get my Girl In a Coma signed concert poster framed (seriously I can't keep putting that off)
17. See at least 3 bands I've never seen before in concert
18. Go to Forecastle
19. Go to Coachella
20. Get at least one more tattoo
21. Eat Belgian chocolate IN Belgium
22. Visit one of the Bourbon distilleries less than an hour from my house
23. Take an art class
24. Keep up my blog
25. Begin research to possibly become a travel writer

So there you go! My 25 Before 25 list. I can't wait to get started on this list. There are some pretty lofty goals on here, but I'm not one to doubt myself ;) Wish me luck!
