Officiating my first wedding!

Last Thursday I was honored to officiate my first wedding, and for that wedding to be between my sister and the father of her daughter. It was a short and sweet wedding ceremony, at The Tavern on France in Edina.

They are such a loving couple and they are really meant to be together. I blessed to be a part of it, while also surrounded by a bunch of her friends and our family, new and old.

Congratulations, Sister.

More figurines

I got more Doctor Who figurines last night. I only opened one so far, and I'm trying to pace myself to open the others.
Also, I've gotten more cranes done, and almost another box full!!
I will have another post going up about another thing that I can cross off my list!!

Making progress!

So, just thought I would update on how far I'm getting on the origami cranes. I've been doing at least 5-10 everyday, and I really hope I'm making SOME progress.

As you can see, I've reused a box from my MLP figures. I'm going to reuse more! I have some more origami paper coming in the mail in the next few days that are 6x6. I bought some that are 3x3, but they are WAY too small, so I'm going to return them and get more big ones.
Thanks for reading everyone!!

MEXICO!!!!

Today, I have booked my flight to Cancun, Mexico. I am leaving on April 29th and coming back on May 5th. I am going to the Akumal Comedy Festival which is one hour south of Cancun in Akumal.
I have never been to Mexico before, and I think that this will allow me to check off some of my items on my list!
The numbers I am hoping to be able to check off are: 3, 4, 10, 20, 21, 41, 67, and possibly 95. Some of the items will be easier than others, but I need to start planning and seeing if the person I'm staying with is up for doing some of these things!

If you are wondering what list I'm referring to, check this out.

If anyone has anything to suggest, please comment and let me know!

In progress

I have been starting to make origami cranes. I want to make 1000 of them.
I have made 4 so far and I think I will make then continuously throughout the year. I've gotten the instructions down!!
Wish me luck!!

Leather working

Last Saturday, me and my crafting friends went to a Basic Tooling class at Tandy Leather in Roseville.
It was kind of added onto my bucket list, and we made this:

The markings on the outside of the flower were for practice!

It was super fun and I want to do something like this every single week. I really need to do more artistic things. I'm going to try and get on this bucket list for this year, and start purchasing some classes and stuff! I have even purchased a Groupon for 3 aerial fitness classes. I'm super excited to start using that!

Anyways... been busy with school and work and hopefully I will be able to do more in the near future!
