I’m turning 21 in
approximately a month, which, I hear, is typically considered a milestone
birthday. I thought I’d make a list of what I want to do this summer—preferably
before my birthday, but I’ll be a little lenient—as long as these all get done
by early August, or, generally, during summertime, I’ll consider that I did well! After all, you typically spend the first couple weeks of the new
year of your life trying to remember that you are, in fact, a year older, so
they really hardly count.
Fun Fact: Angel doesn’t
know how old he is. Ever. When he was 26 he regularly told people he was 28—he wasn’t
trying to be deceptive, he just thought he was 28 years old. A few weeks ago he
couldn’t figure out how old he was until a friend asked him his birthday and
year and calculated his age for him. Usually he just asks me, because wives
always remember.

Great bucket list. If you get to Mall of America, please share your visit. I have always wanted to see it but don't know when I will get there!
I want to add things from your list onto mine. Have you gone swing dancing before? I want to try it...but I'm really uncoordinated so I think I'll hurt myself. Have you ever seen Blake Shelton in concert? He's SO much fun! Good luck with your list, can't wait to watch your progress. And happy early birthday!
(Sorry about that last comment, I had a bunch of tabs open and got distracted while writing.)
Great list! I don't even remember the last time I went to a water park, but I totally want to go! :)
xo, Yi-chia
Always Maylee
I definitely will! As of now, the trip is planned, some details have yet to be worked out, though.
Yes, I've done a few swing dancing lessons--in our city there's an open air swing dance downtown every week, I've always wanted to go there, but haven't made it yet! I've never been to any country concert yet...but hopefully I will soon! Thanks!
Age is only a number but it's fabulous you have these goals. Best of luck!
That is a great list you have goin on!
I'm the same way as Angel. I tell people that I'm a year older than I am about halfway through my year. It's about time that I start telling people I'm 24. I guess I just get started early? Or maybe it's to make up for what I'm sure I'll be doing in a while which is subtracting years. Who knows?
Great list. I've tried to do a yearly bucket list for the past two years but never quite do it all. Still it's fun trying. Kayaking is going on my next list 31@31 hopefully the third times a charm!
Have a great weekend.
I so want your list! Looks so fun. Especially the fair, waterpark, and swing dancing!
haha thats so funny.. i think my hubby wouldnt know how old he is, except that i regularly remind him how OLD he is.. ;)
What a great list!! And it seems like they are all doable things. Good luck and happy 21st!
I love this list!! Such a great way to remember important things to get done! Sometimes I forget how old I am, too! Haha!
