26 Things...

With yesterday being my 26th birthday, I made a list of 26 "things"...goals, facts, wants, etc, and thought I would share...

1. I love my life...it is worked out as I had planned, as odd as that might seem. When Matt and I first started dating we had a conversation about what we want from life...he reminded me of it the other day, my number 1 goal: be married and have a baby by 25...and I did...
2. I have recently starting liking Brussels Sprouts.
3. I am amazed daily by Lennon...it totally blows my mind that she is mine...even though she looks nothing like me!
4. Pedicures are a twice a month thing for me in the summer...and I am soo excited summer is almost here!
5. I got my first massage yesterday...and I will be going back!
6. I set a goal to lose 50 lbs by my next birthday...this morning was my last Java Chip Frappicino from Starbucks till I hit my goal.
7. I got a jogging stroller for my birthday...and am going to use it daily.
8. I love Diet Dr. Pepper.
9. I love Matt's bbq-ing.
10. I have the best parents ever...they have been married for almost 27 years, and have taught me what I want in a marriage.
11. I love my brother...which is almost surprising since we couldn't stand each other until I turned 22-ish...he is an awesome uncle, and has achieved soo much!
12. I am going to run a marathon sometime...not sure when...but I will by my 27th.
13. I talk to my mom daily.
14. I wish leopard was considered a color.
15. I have, hands down, the best in-laws...from Matt's parents to niece/nephews...they are some of the best people I have ever met.
16. I am going to "try" to start scrap booking a book for Lennon.
17. My best friend is moving away...and I wish she wasn't...even though I know it is selfish!
18. Matt's sister, Nikki, is probably one of my closest friends...she scared the crap outta me when I first met her...like really bad! But I love her dearly!
19. Next to Carly, I have some of the best memories with Shannon...oh the things we did!
20. The dumbest movie I have ever seen is Battlefield Earth.
21. I really want a pair of leopard cowboy boots...they look way cuter than they sound.
22. My grandma used to make dolls for me and my cousin Natalie...I have every single one of them...and can't wait for Lennon to grow up to have them.
23. I swear sometimes Lennon says "Hey".
24. I wish I had my "baby whisperer" here permanently!
25. I love Matt more today than I did yesterday, and more tomorrow than I do today.
and...
26. I can honestly say that my life feels complete...sure I have wants, but I have everything that I need! I couldn't be more happy with my last 25 years...and can't wait to see what 26 brings.
