I turn 25 this a week from today.  I am so grateful for the past year (one of the best I've had yet).  I loved having all of the experiences above and feel like the bar is set high for next year.  I'm not really one for bucket lists, but I did make a list of things I'd like to do while 25.  That list and more next week.

What have you crossed off your list for this year?  What's on your bucket list for next year?
