Happy Birthday

So, in honor of my birthday, I thought I'd post 25 things that I've done or experienced in the quarter of a century I've been alive that I wanted to or was interested in doing/experiencing that I didn't think I'd actually get to do. But I have! Go me!

1. Graduated from college (cum laude, no less, wasn't expecting that).
2. Survived for 2 weeks on my own in a foreign country.
3. Ate an entire meal with my hands.

7. Did a study abroad.
8. Competed in multiple beauty pageants.
9. Took the LSAT.
10. Married my dream man.
11. Had a successful pregnancy.
12. Learned how to cook.
