43 Things...

In 2007, I started a list of "43 things I wanted to do in 2007." Well my list never made it to 43 and I only accomplished 16% of what I wanted to do. Well I did it again for 2008. Again, my list only made it 31, BUT I am 40% done with it! I was able to check off some things so I'd thought I'd share.

#13: Go to a symphony concert.
-I fudged on this a little bit. I counted the PASIC concert I attended with the SMU Wind Symphony and the percussion group, Nexus. Close enough right?

#22: Build a better relationship with my dad.
-I actually had lunch with my dad this weekend and we visited. I also stayed with him during the initial hurricane evacuation. The reason I felt I could safely check this one off now is he actually went out of his way to meet me for dinner. I told him I couldn't manage to drive all the way to North Austin from San Antonio but I could meet him in San Marcos. In the past, I feel he would have said okay and left town, but instead he drove to San Marcos and we went thrift store shopping (I got a bundt pan!) and had dinner. It was quite nice.
#25: Run a 5K!
-I still can't believe I did it!!! And I even got a medal for 3rd place! I am so excited to do it again and hopefully this will re-spark my interest in running!
#38: Go to a farmer's market.
-It wasn't the best farmer's market, in fact, it was rather small with only two vendors. However, it is a recognized farmer's market and it was nice to be able to chat with people who had stuff they had grown and made!

I've got a month and a half left and some easy one's that can be checked off. But some will probably go on my list for next year too!

*On a side note, I'm pondering make this journal private (I have to authorize you to be able to read it) so I can post more personal things. I guess I just need to know who actually reads this and that way, if I DO make it private, then I'll add you to the list. Just make a comment or send me an email, so I know if anyone is even reading this!
