Yes, it is true, today is my 29th birthday. GASP! In a lot of ways I am very grown up: I have been married for five years, we bought a house, we have a dog, we both have grown up jobs. However, most of the time I don’t feel like I am any more “on track” than when I turned 20. As my new motto this year is to say YES! to adventure (however small those adventures might be), I decided it would be fun to make a list of 30 things I want to do before I turn 30 (I also want to take a picture to chronicle each one). I wanted these to be fun, challenging, and do-able (but would take a little effort)… Who wants to join me in making 30 their best year ever?!
