Let's start off with checking off one of my goals:
I have always wanted to be a flower girl, but no one ever picked me. Sad. At 23 years old, you realize that it will never happen...unless, you have an awesome aunt! My aunt Sherry had a nice little ceremony to get hitched, and decided to use me as her flower girl! This definitely made my life! Let's look at the photo below:
I was able to pick out the dress I wanted to wear, so I chose this one, because it is pretty, and has flowers on it.
My aunt said I rocked it, because it helped to guide her down the aisle.
As you can see, the wedding is a bit unconventional. The groom was wearing a snoopy shirt and a top hat, and the happy couple decided to step into their marriage rocking some combat boots!
It was a fun time, getting together with family.
I took Jessica with me, and we decided we would crash another wedding that was in the same park.
We tried to be sly as we crept over to the other wedding. We were very casual and acted like we owned the place. We decided we should sit at a table until the dancing really picked up. As we made our way to our desired table, a group of people started staring at us. *gasp* "They know!" was all I could think of. We decided to walk around another direction. Dancing picked up a bit, so we decided to sit at a table near the dance floor. While we waited, mosquitoes were having their way with our skin. A guy walked up to me and asked, "want some bug spray!? They are everywhere!" I gladly took the can of spray and said, "Thanks! This wedding is beautiful. Man, aren't they such a cute couple?" He agreed. Just then, I felt a bit more comfortable being at the wedding. We made our way to the dance floor, and danced for a few songs. On our way back to my aunts wedding, we made sure to say goodbye to a few people, "Bye, have a great night!"
It was a great success.
I now have 75 goals completed. 376 days left! I can't believe I am nearly in my final year.
Knowing I am going into the last year of my project, I realized this is my last opportunity to spend the new year in New York. I had to buy tickets ASAP, so I went to Priceline, where they actually allow you to bid on your flight prices. I got tickets from Sacramento to New York for $378 per person! Amazing prices! Jessica will be joining me on this lovely trip, and I cannot wait!
Another upcoming goal is swimming with sharks, which I will be doing on November 1st!
I had to remove toilet training my cats from the list, because Belle just would not take to it. She started peeing everywhere, and I most definitely do not want my apartment to smell like pee so...that's done. I also removed another thing from my list that was random and a waste of my precious list. I need to add 2 more items. Let me know if you have any ideas!
Other things:
My degrees finally came in the mail: I have finally started and Sac State and love it! My teachers are amazing and the campus is beautiful! I am hoping to graduate after the Fall 2014 semester. :]
I got to pet more animals - including a baby tiger:
And I bought size 5/6 pants! Though I know I am not fully fitting into size 5/6, but in this style of pants, I have moved down a size, which is awesome:The end of this year has definitely been much better than how the year started. I am ready to move on and up to bigger and better things.
In other news: Otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift away from each other. How sweet! Read more here...
