25.

Today is my 25th birthday! Hooray— a quarter century! I’m spending my birthday driving for 11-12 hours to San Diego to see Brighton’s brother, Chase in sunny California. We’ve been talking about visiting for a while, and Thanksgiving seemed like a great time to drive out. The weather in SLC is turning cold and wet, and I’m in denial that winter exists still. Winter is fun for a brief period, then it’s just annoying. (My Floridian is showing, I know)

In honor of the special day, I wanted to do a list of 25 things that I want to do in my 25th year.

1. Expand more into the wedding photography industry.
2. Make my photography business a more substantial income.
3. Buy a house.
4. Go back to Glacier National Park.
5. Go on a 5 day backpacking trip on the John Muir Trail.
6. Learn how to outdoor rock climb.
7. Expand my recipe/cooking repertoire.
8. Learn to relax, and have more downtime in my life.
9. Build more savings and pay off more debt.
10. Visit Maroon Bells in Colorado during the summer.
