So, yesterday was my birthday. I turned the big 2-0 this year... Kinda scary, I know. I could write some profound post about growing up and no longer being a teenager and blah blah, but I'm not. Rather, I'll tell you about this tradition I have.

Every year, I write a list of things I want to do that year. Specifically, the number of things equal to the age I am turning that year. So last year, after my birthday dinner, I went in my room and dug up my list of 19 things to do at 19. I did a fair amount of them, including

-kiss a stranger on top of the Eiffel Tower

-decide on a career I want to pursue for the rest of my life

-go skydiving

-go on a roadtrip (every year, I know, I know)

-travel the world

-take a picture like Princess Di's in front of the Taj

...and a few others. So this year, I decided to share with those of you who still read this old blog my list for 20. I could explain, but it would take to long, so just know most of them have a pretty solid reason behind them.

Twenty things at 20:

1. Do a backflip on a trampoline

2. Learn to ice skate

3. New York trip wif friendsss

4. Have more money than at 20

5. Have a real job. 50 hours a week.

6. Live somewhere other than Utah/Arizona

7. Go to the temple EVERY MONTH

8. Run five miles

9. Vote!

10. Sneak into a club

11. Shower under a waterfall (with herbal essences)

12. Read Jesus, The Christ

13. Bungee Jump

14. Learn Spanish better

15. Find a worthy cause and volunteer at least 20 hours

16. Get a pet

17. Interview with the big 3 for internships. All of them.

18. Get scuba certified

19. Camping trip

20. Again – don’t grow up and get scared of doing new things
