        Now I really wish we lived closer together–I’d love to go dancing with you! Oh, we’d have so much fun.

    Numbers 2, 4, 7, 10, 18, 25

    11 I can possibly help with. I suggest either a succulent or herbs/veggies for the kitchen.

      Thanks Alex! I’m sure you’ll be a part of many of them. I think for the growing I want to do something solely for aesthetics, there’s something exciting about beauty for beauty, plus my Rando app ended last week 🙁

    Great list! I like that you have a good variety of spur-of-the-moment activities (like watching a sunrise and sunset) and things that require planning and forethought. What do you think you’ll get a tattoo of? Needles scare me so I could never get one…I don’t think I could even handle getting my ears pierced again!

        Those sound like great ideas! Would a Harry Potter symbol be like a lightening bolt or something? If you are going to get something permanent it might as well be something awesome. 🙂

      Thanks! You might want to start your list significantly earlier than mine, fitting all this into 9 (almost 8 now) months is definitely going to be a struggle.
