27 before…

June 19, 2012 in 27 before

Today is my 27th birthday! I made myself a pie!

You guys have seen the “30 before 30″ lists around, right? I wanted to do something similar to that but lord knows I’d get bored with anything that I had to stick with for an entire year. So this is a list of 27 things that I want to do before this deployment is over.

Most are pretty silly, food-related things but they’re things that I’ve been wanting to do and just haven’t gotten around to doing them. Hopefully a list keeps me on track. Monthly progress reports to come.

Also, Rachel Cooks does a fun series called A Day in the Life and it’s my turn this week! Check it out!

(Pie recipe coming tomorrow!)

1. Take the boys to The Airplane Restaurant
2. Try a new homemade pizza every Friday.
3. Make croissants.
4. Track down The Springs Cupcake Truck.
5. Try that lavender bubble tea that always taunts me when I visit my favorite bubble tea shack.

6. Can something.
7. Find the best sesame chicken in this city.
8. Take the boys to The Children’s Museum in Denver.
9. Buy wine glasses.
10.  Pick a theme for the older boys’ room and run with it.

11. Hike the incline.

19. Go to the Denver aquarium.
20. Finish Insanity. Do it again.

21. Take a picnic lunch to Garden of the Gods.
