Saturday was my birthday! Saturdays are also my unplugged days so I decided to share my birthday celebrations on Monday instead. I spent the day with friends and family, which made it quite awesome.
 
As you know, I’m a huge fan of goals and bucket lists. Since I turned 29 this year, I thought it was the perfect time to create a birthday bucket list. So, today, I’m sharing my very own “30 Before 30.”
 
Random side note: I did a lot of googling and Pinterest searching to come up with ideas beyond the ones I already had in mind. I was delighted to discover that I’ve done a lot in my 29 years – a lot of the items on other lists were ones I’ve already done. It’s always nice to know that you haven’t wasted your years. 🙂
 
 
Here’s my 30 before 30 list.
 
1. Make my second big move of my life.
 
2. See two new states.
