Believe it or not my 25th high school reunion is days away. I feel like my 20th was a minute ago! (Here I am with the gals pregnant as hell!) I also feel like how in the world am I old enough to be out of high school 25 years!

You have accomplished so much and have had so many unique experiences!! And you have met Kevin Costner?!?!? He is one of my favorites!
That's a fantastic list! And a great idea to list out. You are accomplished! My 25th hs reunion was 2 weeks ago, but I chose to stay and run in a race with my high school/college friend. My list wouldn't be as long as yours, but I try to look at it as feeling more accomplished instead of older, too.
You may have done a lot but there is a lot more out there for you to do.
You are not old. I say this because if you are old then I am older. My 25th reunion was a few years ago.
Each experience that you have gone through has made you the person that you are today that others like and appreciate.
If you can believe this my father had a legal pad at this house (today) with all the jobs that he
has ever had written on it. It took up the page and then some.
Give yourself credit for everything that has taken place.
I went to my 30th reunion 2 yrs ago. It was interesting.
If you go enjoy!!
Love your attitude, you're quite an accomplished woman! Keep it up!
WOW! Congratulations on a life well lived, so far. It will only become more interestig and fufulling.
Warmly, Kathleen
That is a pretty impressive life so far...Your list is exhausting to me!
It sounds like you know who you are and that life can take you many places! I'm just kind of getting that now (at 34. eek!)
Whew! I am tired just reading that list: ) This is my 25 too. Crazy where the years go!
WOW!!! That is quite a list! You are one amazing person. Congrats on all that you have accomplished. I can't wait to read your list after the next twenty-five years.
xoxo,

I love your list! You have done a lot. I had no idea about the movie with Kevin Costner... :)
I haven't made a list like that but I know whenever I tell my story to someone new my life sounds much more exciting than I remember it being!
