6. Sing Kareoke

I was pretty hesitant about putting no. 6 on my list for a number of reasons (but mostly because I'm pretty self conscious and a harsh self critic). Those who know me well know I sing ALL the time. And pretty confidently. 

Turns out that I was just making Kareoke out to be much scarier then it was. It was actually quite a lot of fun!!

Lindsey and I sang the following songs for all of the patrons of Devils Advocate to enjoy:
1. "Somebody That I Used to Know" Gotye
2. "Mean" Taylor Swift
3. "Banditos" The Refreshments

Fun fun fun :)

20. Skydive

I honestly think that no. 20 was the one I typed on my list but was secretly thinking to myself "I will probably never really do that...". But guess what, I did!

1. Complete Pat’s Run (Or some other run)

Yesterday was the culmination of 2+ months of training and preparation: I ran my first 5K! There were obstacles and lots of mud, and a party complete with free wine at the end. Who would have though that dressing up, running around, and jumping in mud puddles would make me so happy?

30. See a Lunar Eclipse

To be completely honest, I forgot entirely about this blog. However, I have been accomplishing things on my list without knowing it!

Back a couple months ago my friend Michael joined me at 4am to get up and drive to the top of South Mountain to watch a Lunar Eclipse! Pretty amazing!!
