Thirty by Thirty

Hey there!

I hope everyone had an awesome 4th of July weekend! We definitely had a great one. Be expecting a post with some pictures once I get them loaded to my computer!

A "thing" that I've heard a lot about is a "30 by 30" list, so I thought "why not?!" No reason to wait to have a bucket list, might as well make some lists to accomplish by my next "milestone" age. I started this list at the beginning of March 2014, so some have already been accomplished (hence the cross through). I will post about some of the stuff that I've crossed off thus far and will post updates as I check things off!

Update: Items highlighted in aqua are COMPLETE! Woo hoo!
