When I was driving to work this morning I heard someone on the radio talking about things they wished they could do in their life. I started thinking about stuff I have always wanted to do, and would like to do at some point, so I decided to start a little list. And since I'm 25, I figured right now 25 things is enough! So here are 25 things I would like to do sooner rather than later...I think some might be easier than others :)
1. Ski
2. Pick out and decorate a real Christmas tree (maybe even cut one down, would that be crazy?)
3. Try sushi
4. Ice skate outside (I’ve done it once inside and surprisingly did not fall!)
5. Go to Washington, DC to celebrate July 4th
6. Road trip out to California, stopping at scenic landmarks along the way (including but not limited to the Grand Canyon, Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone National Park)
7. Run fast enough to qualify for the Boston Marathon
8. Go to a concert and have great seats, not just the cheapest seats available, which is what I usually do.
9. Learn to drive stick shift ( this past weekend I mastered the art of parallel parking thanks to Jana’s instruction, and maybe “mastered” isn’t quite the word )
10. Ride on a fast horse (I’ve ridden a horse once, and I was 6 and the horse was barely moving--and Katy was hanging on only by straddling the horse upside down)
11. Read the Bible cover to cover
12. Cook an entire Thanksgiving dinner (this is probably also something I’d only like to do once)
13. Attend the summer Olympics
14. Go to a fancy New Year’s Eve party (and kiss someone I love at midnight)
15. Compete in a full triathlon, not just a sprint version
16. See in person all the art I studied in college in all those art history classes I took. I’ve maybe seen 10% so far.
17. Be a home owner
18. Learn to speak Italian
19. Fall deeply in love (in a relationship that lasts!)
20. Go to a shooting range and fire a gun (now wouldn't that be a fun date?!)
21. Spend Christmas on the beach
22. Grow a garden.
23. Drive a convertible with the top down and music blaring
24. Make a hole in one on the golf course.
25. Fly first class

I can come up with a lot more, in fact as I started listing, I found it hard not to think of other things I want to do at some point. But, I think these things are pretty realistic...shoot, maybe I could even check them off before I'm 30 :) What do you really want to do that you've never done before?

Someone, set up a night where we go ice skating and then dinner. Make that happen. Sport's Plus in Reading is a great place to go.
The midnight ski at perfect is awesome too, for being skiing at perfect north. It usually lasts until 3 am, but it's an incredible time.
yessssss on ice skating and dinner

You have so much fun to get done in 5 years Lizzie! I'd love to go back to do all of those things again, especially 25 to 23 while 21 with my 19.
1 - nearly broke bones.
3 - I LOVE.
4 - on the toxic lake in the backyard, scared for my life that it would crack and I'd fall in.
8 - dave matthews winked at me while I was in the 2nd row.
9 - only in a foreign country.
16 - I will go see all the art from Wick's class...only if Jana and Sarah come with.
20 - I'm a good shot...got the bullseye to prove it.
23 - does riding shotgun count?
24 - just call me Tiger.
25 - think of everything you have heard about first class then multiply that by 10...it's that nice.
Amulya--did you really get a hole in one?! that is amazing and I am jealous:) And once it gets cold enough, we all go ice skating! Then we all take a trip to the shooting range.... :)
am. all i want to see is the tlv mirror :)
sarah, you in?
I don't think I'm in for the TLV Mirror trip...we'd probably get kicked out of the art exhibit for laughing so hard, have fun though.
you guys should totally come see the tlv mirror. its sweet this time of year
My apologies to Liz for having to endure comments on her blog that she probably has no idea what is meant by them. To be quite honest I don't either. But nice to see that Hans reads your blog. ;)
me: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 14 (well, half of it), 15, 17, 23.
Um... are you serious about the shooting range being a great date? Do other girls feel that way? That's one I haven't done. Have I missed the boat on that one?
Hi Liz! I found your blog through Steve's (I've been following his church experiment) - congratulations on your engagement! I know this is a really old post of yours, but it inspired me to create my own list, so I'm going to link to it - hope you don't mind :-)
