11) Take a Water Aerobics Class

12) Go on a Mission Trip -- I have gone on two before, but as a young teenager, I would love to go on one as an adult

13) Sleep under the stars with Joel -- I've done this before but I want to do it *with Joel*

20) Knit something entirely on my own from a pattern

21) Grow and eat my own vegetables -- I've been reading up on this and learning the best way to do this with the limited space we have. Very excited to get started though. :)

23) Ride a Camel

24) Go on a Backpacking trip

25) Sell my creations to strangers

27) Go on a Cruise -- We know where we want to go, but it won't be happening this year.

28) Keep a Praise/Gratitude Journal – Write down a few praises and things I'm thankful for *every day for a year*. -- Have been working on this! Have tried and "failed" many times since November, lol. I am good at doing it for a few days and then miss a day and have to start over. Right now I've been doing it everyday for the last five days. I really do feel better about life when I make time to write down things I'm thankful for.

29) Buy a House

30) Have a Baby
