Kassi’s Twenty Wishes List for 2013

1. Read 50 books, just for fun, that I WANT to read. {So far I’ve read 17 books putting me 8 books ahead of my 50 book goal by the end of the year. Granted, I know with baby coming in July there won’t be much time for reading in the second half of 2013 so I’m really trying to get as many in as possible now. Also…. If you click over and take a look at the books I’ve read, there’s no contest that any of them were books I didn’t WANT to read! No have to reads going on here!!! Whoot!}

 

 

 

2. Take a trip up Mount Graham. (I’ve lived here a year now, think it’s time to start checking out the local sites!) {Still haven’t gone, but the snow is starting to melt on the mountain, so maybe sometime soon!!}

3. Make a scrapbook of my trip to Australia. (I’ve had the photos since um… 2003…. oops….)

4. Participate in a Color Run! {My sister and sisters in law ran with me in the Tempe Color Run in January. I still plan to do a whole post, but again, waiting on the photos from the sister in law that took her camera…. haha! Until then, here’s an Instagram of our team after the run!!!}

5. Host a girlfriends’ dinner party in my home. Invites, menus, the whole she-bang!

6. Build my photography portfolio to include 10 different sessions. {I’m up to 8 sessions now! I have one wedding for sure booked for June and several other quotes out hoping for bookings in the next few weeks!}

7. Make a photography website and FB page with those 10 sessions. {I just launched my website!! I purchased the domain  (www.kassimortensenphotography.com) and set it up last week! I’m working on getting the 8 sessions I have added to the page. Be a dear and go check it out, yes? And maybe follow…. 😉} {Facebook page is done!!! Won’t you be a doll and like ?!? Oh, and check out my sweet new logo c/o while you’re there. 😉}

8. Attend an AZ blogger event.

9. Makeover my master bedroom.

10. Visit a winery and do a wine tasting.

11. Plant rose bushes in my backyard.

12. Take a 2 year anniversary trip just me and the hubs.

13. Private wish. (This is something I REALLY, really, REALLY wish for, so I don’t want to jinx it… When it does happen I’ll share what it is.) 😉

14. Makeover our guest bathroom.

15. Plant an upside down Mulberry tree somewhere at my house.

16. See George Strait in concert for his final tour. {We have a hotel room booked for the night of the concert!!! It’s just over 2 weeks away!!} {We have tickets!!! Kayli, our mom and I will be seeing George in April!!!}

17. Take a photography class or work shop. {I just purchased an online digital photography certification class via Groupon!!!}

18. Download a Book of Mormon reading app of some sort and read at least the first half! {I downloaded Book of Mormon Chapter Tap, it’s an app for $0.99 that lets you check of each chapter as you read through. So far I’m well ahead of schedule!}

19. Visit Build a Bear and actually build a bear.

20. Host a holiday for my family including a traditional dinner.
