Birthday Report

Yesterday was my birthday which means I am no longer 26 which also means that it is time to report on my 26 for 26 goals.  Overall, the experience was good.  I didn't finish all my goals, but I learned a lot of about what type of goals I should set and how to stretch myself without overwhelming myself. 

So here is my report...

1. Visit New Zealand and Australia - YEAH!  Did it... Sydney or New York & Flightless Birds
2. Learn to play the guitar - I have been taking guitar lessons from Danny for the last 6 months.  I'm not great, but I know cords and I can play a few songs
3. Learn to skateboard - My friends took me long boarding a few times last fall, it was a blast.  And actually I just had my first fall on the long board 2 weeks ago, so I think that makes it official... I board :)
4. Get a new job - I started working for LACO Technologies last May Business Cards and Credit Cards
5. Read all the conference talks (April & October 2009) - Finished both and learned some amazing truths
6. Visit all the National Parks in Utah - I was able to visit 4 of 5 missing Capital Reef, I just didn't have enough time.
7. Bike 2 Century Rides - I rode the MS ride in Logan Bikes and Butt Bruises and then the ULCER around Utah Lake I don't hate myself...promise
8. Climb Mt Olympus, Mt Nebo & Lone Peak - Sadly I only hiked Mt Olympus, but if you count it I hiked Grandeur Peak on Saturday...nothing compare to Nebo or Lone, but give a girl a break she was busy.
9. Hike Donut Falls - Done Did she say truck or trail
10. Learn In Design & Illustrator - I wish
11. Type Grandma Berger’s life story - Not yet, but I am using my tax return to buy a computer so I can finish this
12. Read the Book of Mormon - Nightly!
13. Hold a current temple recommend - I go to the temple once a week.  It is amazing how good it feels to get dunked.
14. Have a meaningful relationship - It didn't last, but I wouldn't take it back.
15. Conquer sleep - I am going to say yes.  I am much better at getting up even though I hate mornings.
16. Read Jesus the Christ - Too big.  Too detailed.  I need to really study this so I am saving this for next year.
17. Be able to do 5 pull ups without jumping - I can do 1 :)
18. Be able to do 10 man push ups - I can do it and I'll prove it.
19. Compete in a triathlon - My first tri was Salem Spring, Let's Tri
20. Learn 10 new Hymns - :(
21. Visit Gilgal Gardens - Yes and it was awesome. check, check, and half-check
22. Go on 3 backpacking trips - Nada.  And the year before I went on so many, I thought this would be easy.  Do 2 overnight yurt trips count?
23. Mountain bike slick rock  - I decided since I only got a mountain bike in Feb that it was ok to switch this to "Go Ice Climb" which I did...twice, and love it. rocking in ice 
24. Cross slackline, turn and return without falling - One of my favorite goals.  I love to slackline and I was really proud of myself for accomplishing this goal. check, check, and half-check
25. Give out 3 Book of Mormons (Arcadia) - I only gave out 1 this year while we were on our trip to AUS & NZ, but I have a couple people in mind and I am preparing to give them out.
26. Read Preach My Gospel - I have been studying this with my scripture study, but still not finished.

Oh and if you didn't notice I am a dork and color coded the goals.  RED is completed, BLUE is partly completed, and PURPLE is HAHA I wish.
