Either way, I hope to come back to this post through-out the year to strike some off. I&#8217;ll let you know when I do. A few will have to wait until next March to meet their fate.<\/p>\n<p>In no particular order, here is my list of 25 things to do before I turn 26:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n<s>1. buy a house<\/s> (<a href=\"http:\/\/goodknits.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/25\/welcome-home\/\" target=\"_blanke\">Our new home!<\/a>)<br \/>\n2. take a photo of myself every week<br \/>\n<s>3. 25 handmade gifts<\/s><br \/>\n4. 12 cupcakes from scratch (1 recipe a month)<br \/>\n5. 52 TtV shots (1 every week, or all in one day)<br \/>\n6. learn to drive (*shame*)<br \/>\n<s>7. take a road trip<\/s> (<a href=\"http:\/\/goodknits.com\/blog\/2010\/05\/10\/off-we-went-and-returned-happiness-horror\/\" target=\"_blank\">San Antonio!<\/a>)<br \/>\n8. make a big-people quilt<br \/>\n9. make a granny square blanket<br \/>\n10. sew something at least once a month<br \/>\n11. lose 25 lbs<br \/>\n12. kiss on a bridge<br \/>\n13. end the engagement<br \/>\n<s>14. paint something<\/s><br \/>\n<s>15. frame something<\/s><br \/>\n<s>16. make a new friend<\/s><br \/>\n17. walk on a beach<br \/>\n<s>18. make a wreath<\/s> (I made a few!)<br \/>\n<s>19. make a piece of furniture<\/s> (I&#8217;m counting my pseudo-ottoman: http:\/\/goodknits.com\/blog\/2010\/08\/19\/ottoawesome\/)<br \/>\n<s>20. have a giveaway every other month (starting <a href=\"http:\/\/goodknits.com\/blog\/2010\/03\/07\/its-my-birthday-giveaway\/\">today<\/a>!)<\/s> I had several giveaways over the year!
