GO GIRL... ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY!!!



I'm 27 today.
And that is freakin CRAZY to me!


I started this month super pumped for my birthday and my mood quickly turned for the worse.
I have no clue why, but 27 is just not sitting well with me.
No, I dont feel old.
And no Im not sad.
I just for some reason didnt have the birthday spirit I usually do, UNTIL TODAY!

Today I hopped out of bed with a smile on my face and Thanked GOD for another year!
I have so much to be thankful for and I honestly couldnt be happier with life right now.
26 was a good one and I just KNOW 27 is going to be even better!!

So today Im posting my 27 in 27.

1. Run a 5K. Ive never done one and I really want to!
2. Be in the same city with my bear! This one can happen sooner rather than later. Hurry up February!
3. Save at LEAST $15,000 for a home!
4. Spend more time being thankful for what I do have instead of worrying about what I dont have.
5. Take Tugger and Lilly on more walks.
6. Kick ass at my new job!
7. Do my laundry more than once a month. Im the worst at letting it stack up.
8. Give more take out food to the homeless man on our corner.
9. Get FIT!
10. Send more "just because mail" to the ones I love.
11. Watch less trash TV.
12. Use my DSLR more often.
13. Take pictures of Lilly and Tugger in the bluebonnets.
14. Experience Chicago.
15. Ring in the New Year somewhere that makes Chris and I really happy.
16. Spend less time on Facebook.
17. Pay it forward to someone at least once a month!
18. Talk to my Dad more on the phone. We text often but we need to spend more time having good convos.
19. Master the task of HANGING UP MY TOWEL!!!
20. Spend more time with the ones I love!
21. Do a couple of my favorite Pinterest DIY projects.
22. Leave Christopher more LOVE notes.
23. Clean out my closet and donate my old clothes!
24. Be more understanding of others and try to always remain openminded.
25. Smile more often at strangers just to be friendly.
26. Tell the ones I love more "I love you"s.
27. Make this year the BEST one yet.

Hope you all had the best Thanksgiving ever!!
Cant believe its already Christmas time!!!!
