Seventeen is a Number of Wonder

 

 

I looked over my Sixteen While Sixteen list that I had created on this exact day last year. I am pretty proud of how it turned out.

 

1. Make a list of 1,000 things I am thankful for

I am not all the way there yet but I am not going to ever stop.

2. Go horseback riding on the beach

3. Take a college class 

Completed!

4. Stay up an entire night

Completed 3/23-3/24/12

5. Blog every day for 2 weeks

6. Complete my Year-Without-Soda challenge (Ends December 9th)

I am proud to say I completed this and am still going strong without soda.

7. Go camping

I actually did this! Go me!

8. Try something new

So many new things occured this year. I can definitely say I completed this.

9. Keep a journal

I kept a journal during my New York missions trip this past summer. :))

10. Learn to play an instrument

11. Drive a total of 50 hours

All of my friends are surprised I haven't hit anything yet...those boogers. -_-

12. Be a penpal to someone

KayleeBeth...Meena...Molly...Mackenzie...my loves. <3 div="">

13. Send a care package to soldiers in another country

I think this was my favorite :)

14. Host a caption contest

15. Go on an adventure

I'm considering my missions trip to New York without any of my family members as an adventure because I was absolutely terrified.

16. Hold a snake on my own (I am conquering my greatest fear, people)

You cannot imagine how thankful I am I did not run into the chance to cross this off my list.

9 of out 16 items completed. I am not even mad. This year was so amazing for me. I was able to begin my dual-enrollement in college, drive, play soccer, make new friends, go on a few adventures with the ones I love, and just live life. What more could I ask for?

 

I guess all that's left for me to say now is,

 

Seventeen?

 

 I will not let you have anything but amazing memories and thrilling exploits for me.

You don't scare me anymore.

 

Bring it on.
