25 Before 25 COMPLETE!

Remember that time I made a list of 25 things to do before I turned 25? Well, I lived life to the fullest for a little over a month and it was a blast. 

1. Birthday Dinner with the Madre
Location of choice. Dinner actually turned to brunch and we had a blast with our bacon and eggs. 

2. Caving
When you were as muddy as I was post 4 hours of caving after a rainy morning, you don't touch your camera. But this is essential what it was like at some points. This would be called the "pancake squeeze!"


My trusty high school Tiberlands post underground adventure:

3. Swim in a waterfall

This is Foster Falls, the waterfall of choice. I hiked around, played Katniss and Gail with my friend, Troy, and turned into a happy little icicle swimming into the pelting water droplets of the fall. Prefect reminder of God's creation and wonder.
4. Braves Game
 Went with this crazy crew to see the Braves blowout the Marlins 8-0! So many tomahawk chops!

Someone with fancier seats and camera phone than I took this:
"A storm's brewin' and its name is Brandon Beachy"

5. Visit Emily in Valdosta
She is one loved girl. 

6. Chick-Fil-A with Sara... CHANGED to: ...With a Scot. 
Captures my love pretty well, I'd say.

Meet my new favorite Scot: Anna Lisa. I like her more than most people because she declared I should be British. We also share a love for sleepy puppies. 

7. Sky Zone
Martha and David joined to tumble, flip, dunk, dodge, and fly around this warehouse of fun. 

8. Comedy Show
Went to see Aaron (far left) in his exit show for an intro to comedy class. 

9. Roadtrip to the BEACH


 #1: St. Simon's Island:
Quality time with these beautiful ladies for Memorial Day weekend.

#2: Tybee Island Bachelorette Weekend
Bachelorette and birthday fun in downtown Savannah!

Beach time for the bride and friends. Yes please. 

10. White chocolate raspberry cheesecake
25.

I didn't think my favorite dessert could get any better until I share it with my bestie.  

11. Make a white pizza with Ellen Changed (due to scheduling conflicts) to: Go to the Zoo
The birds loved Troy at the Chattanooga Zoo. We both loved the cotton top tamarin - Please give yourself a smile and look of videos of these little guys!


12. Snow cone on Moreland Ave
Half coconut. Half Tiger's Blood.

13. Watch a sun rise
Watched the sunrise through Tropical Story Beryl blowing towards St. Simon's Island.

14. Make a new recipe with Martha
Delicious roasted vegetable enchilada lasagna with the Rooms. 

15. Go to the shooting range.
That would be me...shooting a 9mm glock...and hitting the target.

And this is my excitement about it all. 

16. Lay out at the pool all day  CHANGED to: Lay out on Beach all day (even better)
Beach of Choice: St. Simon's Island. 

Ok ok...then again on Tybee Island. 

17. Visit Kegan's classroom of autistic boys
Stole this from Facebook because well, it's a bit sketchy to take pictures of adorable little boys when they're at school and you are neither a teacher or parent. But this is Kegan and he's an awesome teacher. 

18. Drive-In Movie Theater 

Snow White and the Huntsman with Emory friends on a chilly summer night.  

19. Pinterest Craft
The Idea. Now just imagine it being red and without Buffalo.

20. New Birthday dress
Forever 25 Dress.

21. Mail Luxmi a package
Went a lot like this. Except imagine a city on both ends.
Love my Luxmi Girl. 

Missing this.

22. Antico Birthday Dinner with friends
Stolen photo. Too celebratory of a photo of our Italian chefs to not post. I was basically transported to Italy. A french guy even joined my birthday party- My mod podge collection of beloved friends joined together and make this one of the best birthday eve dinners ever.

23. Hand-write someone a letter
Letter to a mentor. Encouragement to an encourager.

24. Have a picnic in my front yard.
Spontaneous birthday brunch picnic princess with my new book!

25. Volunteer at Children's while wearing a tiara.
No camera allowed while volunteering but I do encourage them when tiaras are worn! Lovin' on sweet tatter tot sickies is hands down the best volunteering position possible. 


Thank you to everyone who helped me complete this glorious list!!
I learned life is best with friends and adventures. 
So here's to the next year of life being full of them!
