27

There were actually a lot of ideas I thought of for things to write about today. One is about my crazy hectic day so far but I thought I would wait to see what else is going to happen.

Since my birthday is Sunday I thought I would write about that. I didn't want to write something cheesy (no promises though) so my idea was that since I am turning 27 I would write 27 cool things that I have done and 27 more cool things I want to do.

Things I have accomplished (good or bad) in 27 years:
1. Made it past 17 without my mom killing me - that is a huge accomplishment.
2. Flown a Cessna Airplane.
3. Met someone famous - George Brett
