60, 68, 75

60. Make seasonal cakes/desserts - Here are a couple pictures from the past few holidays:










68. Get a manicure - a birthday present from Justin



75. Get involved with a Bible Study
I'm going to count our small group. We do it once a month and always include a devotional and prayer time, so I think it counts.

31, 85, 87, 98

31. Conquer the anxiety and go camping
I am so proud to say that I have done this!! It was a big deal for me, but it went really smoothly. Thank goodness for Paxil! We just stayed one night, but it was fun!




















85. Try a new food that I don’t think I’ll like
I had hummus for the first time this summer, and was pleasantly surprised! I am not generally a fan of health food, and it looks really gross, but it was pretty good! I also ate tomatoes this year. I'm still not crazy about them, but I didn't pick them off every sandwich I ordered at a restaurant as usual. And when I accidentally got them on my tacos once or twice, I ate them anyway. Go me. Antioxidants.
87. Go to the beach four times (twice a summer)
We actually went a few times this year. Justin and I went to Grand Haven (which I think I've already posted about), then we went with my family a couple weeks later for Libby's birthday, and then again last weekend while we were camping! Here's a picture from the beach at Ludington:






98. Start a game night or book club or something and invite my friends.
I've been getting together with my cousins and one other girl once a week for a few months. It started as a "writer's workshop" since most of us are writing stories, but has melded into dinner, talking, sometimes games, and a little bit of "writing talk." It's great!

104. Take Justin to "The Donut Shop"

Growing up, we went to "the donut shop" every Saturday morning. It's just a little podunk bakery in Bailey of all places, but we loved it as kids. I haven't been there in so many years, but Justin and I both had the day off today, so we went to check it out. It hasn't changed a bit. It was so nostalgic. And delicious. :-)

We went to Sparta Town and Country Days again this year. And Coast Guard Festival last weekend.










33. Plan a class reunion
Everything is planned. Now I'm just waiting for RSVPs and hoping people show up.


















74. Use whitestrips on my teeth
I started this, but they hurt my teeth really bad, so I'm taking a break.



87. Go to the beach four times (twice a summer)
We went to Lake Michigan while we were at the Coast Guard Festival last weekend.

99. Get (or borrow) “Gilmore Girls” on DVD


I borrowed the first few seasons from Ali at the beginning of June, and just finished the seventh and final season two days ago. So I watched seven seasons in two months! Haha. I absolutely loved them, am completely obsessed with them, and am horribly sad that the show is done.


I don't know what I'm going to do now that I'm done. This marathon has filled up all my free time for the past two months.
