My Bucket List

I have actually never made an official "bucket list".  I always think of things I'd like to do though, so I have finally decided to make an actual visual list of these things, so that I can start making these things happen now while I have the time and energy and resources.

1. Get a passport
2. Use that passport to visit at least one country in another continent
3. Go on a mission trip
4. Get my driver's license

6. Get confirmed in the Catholic Church
7. See the movie Midnight in Paris
8. Learn to sew
9. Make my own dress
10. Learn/re-learn how to knit better
11. Buy a house
12. Invent my own recipe
13. Re-learn/improve piano playing
14. Visit Nebraska
15. Lay under the stars with someone I love
16. Run a 5K

I will try to remember to add more as I think of them, but this is my Lainey-licious bucket list!  Please feel free to comment with some of your own bucket list items/suggestions to inspire me, so that I can make sure I live my life to the very fullest! :)

21 Presents :)

So I finally got my birthday presents from my mom in the mail about a week ago and I love every one of them!  They were almost too pretty to open though.  And my mom numbered all of them and put cute little notes on them for me.  It was pretty adorable! :) I took some pictures :)

But I got 2 cardigan sweaters, 2 shirts, a dress, 2 hats, a pair of gloves, an organizer insert for my purse, purple eyeliner, a necklace with matching earrings, a bracelet, a scrapbooking kit, a pair of tennis shoes, and a purse which I accidentally broke withing hours of getting it :/.

My Halloween Costumes!

So I ended up wearing 3 different costumes this year.  All of which I already had in my closet :)  The first costume I decided on was a "Hipster Pirate" which I wore for our school's "Safe Trick or Treat" Event for kid's from the neighborhood. 

Then, I went to OSU's High Ball that Friday night before Halloween and I went as a school girl :)







And on Halloween, I just went to my friend's house to pass out candy and went as a hipster cowgirl by wearing a button-up flannel, pigtails, a mini skirt, boots, leggings, and plastic glasses frames and a little purple scarf.  Sadly, I didn't think to take a picture, so you will have to use your imagination for the most part.  It is very similar to what I wore to the Miley Cyrus concert 2 years ago though which I do have pictures of!  I wore a white skirt, grey boots, and no cowboy hat though.

Day 10 – A photo of your favorite place to eat

Olive Garden has been my favorite restaurant since I was like 13.  If I could afford to eat there every day, I definitely would!  I love their salad, breadsticks, pasta, desserts, and drinks!!  The new Limonadas are delicious by the way!  I usually get the cheese ravioli with salad and breadsticks and a strawberry lemonade.  Then, if I have room for dessert, I get the black tie mousse cake.  Everything's delicious though.  You really can't go wrong no matter what you get!

I was actually just at the Olive Garden near Easton Shopping Center in Columbus for a belated Valentine's Day/St. Joseph's Day celebration last night before Mass.  It was phenomenal!  I am so excited for my 3 year anniversary with my boyfriend, because we will almost definitely be eating there again and I can never have too much Olive Garden :) yummy yumm yum!

So I've decided I'm a little behind on the whole life thing and I'm almost 19, so I have decided to come up with a list of goals to accomplish before next school year and here they are:

Get my driver's license
Get a car & insurance
Lose 5-10 pounds
Take care of my acne
Get contacts (maybe)
Make a habit out of daily mass
Learn how to pray the rosary
Get confirmed
Vote in at least one election
Buy at least one lottery ticket
Complete at least one scrapbook
Declare a major
Maintain at least a 3.5 GPA

I will add more as I think of them. I have a little less than a year.. I will crossout the goals as I accomplish them.
