I've decided to make myself a list of things I want to do before my next big birthday. I've gotten to do a lot of amazing things in my twenties. I mean AMAZING.
I've had two really amazing jobs working for non-profits. I've gotten married. I've had our beautiful son. I've made so many friends. I've gotten to see a baseball game in Wrigley Stadium, "pet" a stingray, dog sled in the mountains of Montana, and the most important of all ... I became a Christian!!
Here is my list of 40 things I want to do before I turn 40, some of them I've already been able to do, so I will scratch them off as I go. What do you want to do before your next big birthday??
