Everyone else is doing it....

So it's been 5 months since the wedding, and I need some goals to work towards. Alot of gals made a 100 in 1001 lists, but I have made a list of 25 things to do before I turn 25. It's less than 100 things, but I'm usually a procrastinator and tend to not finish what I started. I plan on taking pictures and keeping tabs on my progress here.
A little bit about me:
My name is Emily, and I'm turning 23 in May, which gives me two years to do 25 things (and actually a few of my 25 things are more than one thing...). I married Matt on September 12th, which was our 6th year anniversary and he is my everything. We both grew up in Maryland, but moved down to the North Carolina in April 2008. We both work at Miller's Seafood and Steakhouse, but he works the dinner shift and I work the breakfast shift. Miller's is open from March to November, which gives us 4 months off in the winter to rest and relax before the next season. I'm saying this because when Miller's is open, that's all we do. Well, last year, that's all we did because we were saving money to pay off the wedding (go check it out at my Wedding Bio-sticky at the top of the page).
This year, I plan to take it slow. I want to just work the mornings this summer (not work at starbucks for 8 hours a day ontop of my morning shift), and have the rest of the day to tan or read (or complete one of my 25). This summer is just for me because this November, I'm gonna go off my BCP, and we plan on getting KU before the next Miller's season opens. The goal is to have said baby by the time Miller's closes next year and have 4 months of paid maternity leave! Which means being pregnant during the summer (nervous about that) and also during the height of the season (which means amazing tips, but alot of extra work on my part).
I use alot of parenthesis when I talk, because I tend to get off topic quite easily.
I'm really upbeat and positive, even though I'm kind of dark and twisty inside. I love to sing and dance or anything else creative (scrapbooking, drawing, cooking, writing).I like things clean, I am a horrible speller, I have huge goals, big dreams and over plan everything (which is why I need to have this blog, so I can stop voting on people's baby names and looking at nurserys all day long).
Today's song: Quitter- Carrie Underwood
"When I believe that nothing lasts forever, you stay with me keeping us together, and make me feel like I never, ever want to give you up, till now I've always been a quitter..."
