goals.

St. Paddy's Day!!! YAY! A day to wear GREEN the one and only best color in the world! We are heading downtown Chicago tomorrow to watch the river being dyed green, watch the parade, and attend a party...I am obviously excited!

On another note...I got my final grade yesterday for my last Masters class--and I passed! WOOHOO! So, I only have my thesis left to finish and I will be all done!  I hope to finish my thesis by the end of April, but it is work-at-your-own-pace style so we will see how diligently I work.

I also made a list this week of 25 Things I Want To Do Before 25!  I am going to share the list with you for a few reasons...1. so I do not lose the paper it is written on :) 2. so anyone can feel free to think of me when they hear some of these things being offered and LET me KNOW!  and 3. you give you all a little inspiration to set some goals yourself.  I think that making a list of things you want to do motivates you to do more than you would without a list and I am hoping this will be the case for these things...

1. Run a half marathon (currently training for one in May) (May 20, 2012)
2. Travel outside the country with Ryan  (October 2012-England, Finland, Estonia)
3. Finish Masters (May 2012!!!!)
4. Get a "career" (Starting at Tyges International as an Exec Recruiter November 2012!)
5. Go to 3 more "famous" restaurants (Ryan and I love eating at places we have seen on TV) (Glenn's Diner, Primanti Bros, and Blue Moon Cafe)
6. Learn to make fancy cakes (Cake decorating class Sept 2012)
7. Go on a random road trip
8. Attend a music festival
9. Learn to make my own pasta I made sausage and cheese ravioli (with my own pasta dough)!
10.  Plant a small garden (harvested 2 squash, 5 peppers, and an eggplant)
11.  Go to VEGAS!
12. Learn more Spanish
13. Hot air balloon ride October 1, 2013
14.  Own stock in 2 companies  Yelp and Insmed (which we already sold, haha)
15.  Test drive a fancy car
16.  Get a puppy
17. Read 5 Classic books (Deenie, Forever, Of Mice and Men)
18. Take an art class
19. Attend a few more professional sports events (Cubs vs Tigers) (Tigers  vs Orioles)
20.  Kiss under a waterfall (Ryan, obviously)
21.  Spend an entire week without any media
22.  Volunteer regularly again (Volunteer at UW in Williamsburg!)
23.  Do another triathlon
24. Pay off student loans (or at least most of them)
25.  Have a baby! (Makena June--6/15/13)

Thanks for reading!

    If you come see us you can travel outside of the country and spend a week with out media. I just did that for 10days. It was tough but by then end it was kind of nice. Very relaxing. We might be able to find a waterfall for you over here too:)

    When you come home Gino can teach you how to make pasta. He taught me how to make ravioli and gnocchi's, so he could probably teach you how to make something [at least help you get the basics down. :)] xx
