In exactly 3 months and 9 days I will be turning 25 (Whoa!). This is going to be a momentous occasion. You only turn a quarter century once so I figured I should start planning now. As you probably can tell from my previous posts, I like making lists so I’ve made a to-do list what I want to do for the big 2-5 and I figured I would share it with you ladies.

1. Get my nose pierced. I have been wanting to get my nose pierced for years now but I have always been too scared. What better time to do it than this milestone birthday. I must be careful not to overthink it though because I can definitely talk myself out of it.

2. Go to the National Zoo in DC and go see the octopus and the new baby panda. The last time I went to the zoo was on my 21st b-day and before then it was back in elementary school. As you can see, the zoo is my default place to go for “special” birthdays so I’m not really married to this idea.

3. Eat a whole apple pie with a tub of strawberry ice cream. My family thinks I’m weird but I LOVE this combination. SO GOOD!

4. Put some braids in. I actually want to do this before the b-day to be sure I look good the day of.

So as you can see, I am pretty easy to please. Most likely, I will just stay at home all day and watch movies (well go to church first because my b-day is on a Sunday next year). What do you think I should do for my birthday? Note: I don’t like bars or clubs nor am I much of a party person. Any suggestions?

The countdown has begun,
