40 Before 40

Next May, I turn 30!  I ran across this idea at Simply Kelly. It was such a cute idea that I knew I had to borrow it.  It’s funny how many of her ideas are the same ones I had.  So here’s my list of 30 things I want to do before I turn 30. 


**UPDATE** So I turned 30 and then 31 and never completed this list.  So I’m trying again.  A little name change….a few more things to do and now I have a 35 Before 35!


***UPDATE*** I still didn’t make it by 35 and now I’m three years away from 40, so I’m trying again!
