The List

So without further ado, to kick off my birthday weekend, here is my bucket list of 30 things to celebrate turning 30 this year! There are some things on this list that are very realistic, others that feel a bit more like dreams, but either way I am willing to risk it and put it on this list. Some will be a stretch or challenge to myself to accomplish, others I have just always wanted to do. And still others that I just want to make sure I include in this year of my life and that I can already say are life-giving to me. Of course, many of them take the funds to do them, but I hope that I can make it work.

Feel free to add to it if I have forgotten something I just must do, AND if you see something on here that sounds fun, please join with me! I'd love to have company as I set out to celebrate this beautiful life God has given me.
