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.
 
Forever and Always a JesusChick ♥

  16. I loved reading this post so much! I wish I made a list before I turned sixteen.. maybe it's not too late. ;))

    A huge grin came across my face when I saw my name in your post.. Hopefully you were talking about me.. unless you have another Mackenzie pen pal. XD

    Anyways, I'm so glad we're pen pals and still pen pals. <3
