40 things to do before I am 40

This may be a little off topic, but it is a good way to keep me distracted from the foster / adoption process we are going through right now.  More information on that at a later time...


There is something about getting older that really makes you think…What have I done with my life, and what do I still want to do?  My best friend and I decided to make our own lists of 40 things we want to do before we are 40.  So here is my “laminated list”.  I have 3 years to complete this, and yes, I realize it is very ambitious, but I am up for the challenge. Once I complete something off my list, I will blog about why it was there in the first place, and my experience completing it.  Wish me luck!  And if you have any advice, please feel free to share 😀
