22. Lay on the beach
I have been apart of a Cru bible study for the past four years! And we wanted to do a last shindig after graduation all together. My parents so graciously allowed us to use their timeshare and we went down to North Myrtle Beach and just laid on the beach everyday! At night we would cook a meal together and chill in the hot tub. It was a spectacular week! Not everyone could come, but we had a lot of fun! So blessed to have these women in my life!

This is probably one of my favorites I got to mark off! And the funny part is I can't even show you the pictures! Not yet anyways. Let's just say that two of my dear friends have been roommates for 4 years, and may or may not be getting married this summer (not to each other...to their fiances), and may or may not have wanted a "best friend's bridal shoot" :) Will post the real deal's after July 21st...but until then here are some very cropped teasers
54. Read all Harry Potter books
Okay do I didn't actually do this. And I am not going to mark it off yet, but I did manage a similar feat...kind of. Not only have I not read any of the Harry Potter books, but because I have not read the books I refused to see the movies. So basically I was the most ignorant person of my generation when it came to HP. Well back in January, Friday the 13th to be exact, some friends wanted to do a scary movie marathon, I didn't really want to do that so instead they said HP marathon. After a lot of convincing I gave in, so folks I watched all 8 Harry Potter movies in ONE WEEKEND! Talk about a lot of movie watching and bonding time! They were great movies and I cannot wait to read the series!
70. Help build a house
I had the coolest opportunity to be a part of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition when it came to Knoxville back in January! Me and a few friends signed up for a middle of the night time slot and helped empty out a building that the family was using for their ministry "Restoration House" to help single mothers. It was by far one of the greatest experiences I have had. It will be one of the final episodes of EMHE as it has been cancelled. Our episode is the Thanksgiving themed episode! We even had a mock Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade down in front of Neyland Stadium! Check it out when it airs in November!

Okay, so I have no proof of this. So just trust me on this. For those of you that don't know me well might be a bit confused. So here is the short version, I don't ride with people. I have panic attacks, and get all freaked out. I was in a bad car accident my senior year of high school and I was not driving. It was by no means her fault at all, but it left its mark on me.
So I don't ride with people. My parents and that is it. Especially while in college, and not knowing anyone I always drove. (I was taken to the hospital a couple times, but I don't count that) And it is always assumed that I am the one driving. I don't mind, I love driving people around! Back in August, just a few days after returning from Haiti the college ministry at Calvary was going tubing in Townsend. We were taking the van, and I was coming up with excuses that I needed to drive. None of them were valid, and my roommate forced me into the van. To make things better, I had no idea who the driver was. Never knew the kid existed until that moment (we eventually became great friends!). My roommate informed them of my issues and I rode. And no panic attacks, and never once feared for my life. Immediate trust! Wahoo progress! I still don't ride with people, but if ever they were the ones going wherever we were going, I would ride with them! Still not quite over my issue, but we are getting there!
90. Go to a wedding
I have gone and will be going to several weddings this summer! The first one and the one I am going to write about are my dear dear friends Charlie and Stephanie Edwards. I have known them most of my four years at Calvary, but didn't get close with them until this last year. Charlie lived next door to me at the boy's Calvary house, and I spent a lot of time hanging out there this past year. Steph interned with me last summer in Haiti, and there we realized we really failed the first three years of not being friends!! They are some of the greatest people, and I wish them so much happiness in their new life together!
92. Learn to swing dance
I love swing dance! It is a combination of 4-H and Cru's fault. Swing is the preferred dance to both of those organizations and being highly involved in both over the last several years. I learned some basics back beginning of freshmen year, when a lot of people in Cru knew how to. Then my last semester at UT I finally got into the Social Dance class! And we learned to swing! So much fun and probably my favorite type of dance to do!
That has caught you up to date on my conquering of the list! #48 has happened, but will require a entire posts devoted to it. Coming soon!
#1,#3, #19, #33, #38, #56, and #74 are hopefully fulfilled here in the next month or so! Thanks for being a part of this journey! And now as I hit the next mile marker...22!
