The Roaring Twenties

The kid brother sent me a letter for my birthday. He talked about how he'd be turning 20 in a couple of months and how that would put us both in "the greatest decade, some might say."

He continued, "That is the reason why the theme of my letter today will be based around the goals I suggest that we set together to do in our prime. Sound good? Let's get started."
  • Take the Rosetta Stone Italian course. Go to the eternal city of Rome and attend the temple there.
  • Hit on Italian supermodels or at the very least, pretend we're Italian supermodels and let other Americans hit on us.
  • Follow prophetic counsel and get married. (Editor's note: Don't worry, getting married isn't strictly confined to your twenties. Usually they encourage it earlier than that. <---Sarcasm!)
  • Nonstop Harry Potter Marathon. 1-7 books and movies without sleep. 
  • Just because I know you'll like it, Battlestar Galactica Marathon. With commentary.
  • Pay up on Dad's Christmas gift from years ago and treat him to a game of golf. 
  • 4 Singles / Austin Nights sitcom (Editor's note: We discussed via email a few weeks ago how I'm living a sitcom and it would be titled either 4 Singles or Austin Nights.)
  • Visit the Albuquerque Zoo and relive the prime of our youth, a.k.a. that fun penny swirly thing and riding camels. 
  • Getting back to our spouses. Picture this: double dates with our spouses. Or better yet, triple dates with Mom and Dad. 
  • I wasn't going to put it down as a goal, but why not? SKYDIVING, BABY!
  • Boston Marathon, but if that's not achievable, a 5K. 
Looks like we've got our work cut out for us, especially since he won't be back from his mission for another year. I better start training right now. (For the 5K, not the marathon. Yikes.)

I think it's finally time I watch "Battlestar Gallactica." If you would like to watch it with me, that'd be fun. :)

Ummmm, so can I join you and your brother in these adventures? Because this all sounds amazing!

Still trying to get my DH to finish BSG - after two and a half seasons of stress and more stress he gave up. He's just going to pretend that everyone got a happy ending. :)

The goals sound superfun! Also, after doing a half marathon and wondering WHY the entire time I ran, I suggest the 5K.
