So I'm taking this "Do Stuff" initiative pretty seriously. I've been trying on a day-to-day basis to do more of the things I always wanted to do. Since my last update, I have:

1. Spent time in the wilderness/hiking (several times!) Note Ryan and James, 2 of my housemates.


2. Experimented with some night sky photography (thanks to a new camera gadget!) -That is a 7.5 minute exposure!


3. Done a little digital illustration experimenting. (no photo, sorry!)

I'm really excited to get out and do some treasure hunting and such as well. I have been given so many opportunities (Thanks, God!), I just need to seize them!

Next?

I turned 27 a month ago, which is weird. It has me thinking more and more about what happens with age! I'm realizing (rather suddenly) that I'm a grown up now. I don't often feel that way, though.

With 30 approaching, I'm reminded about what I haven't done with my life yet! There are all of these things that I've put in the "I want to do that someday" category- that have yet to be achieved. Keep in mind, though, that I'm a lot more of a grown up than I was at 25.

So here's the plan: DO stuff! I have often said "I'm an idea guy."- I have good ideas and love starting things/making preliminary plans, but then often fall off and never make any progress toward the DOing. So that's my plan-not just doing everything that people suggest, but in following through with all of the ideas I've always wanted to go with.

This means:
Writing and illustrating a story with my sister : )
Going to Alaska on a legit adventure
Treasure hunting on weekends
Getting outside more/Spending time in the wilderness
Pursuing real adventure when the opportunity comes
Take photos (play with new ideas, experiment!)
Drawing
Hiking
Camping

So maybe this is sort of a resolution- not for the new year exactly. I just want to make sure I am doing stuff while I can!
