31 things during my year of being 31

Tomorrow is my birthday, my 31st birthday.  I don't usually get too worried about years, but it's odd to be 31.   Sometimes I still feel like a little girl just trying to figure out life.  Maybe I'll never  REALLY figure it all out and that's okay. ;)

I didn't do this list at 30 (at least I don't remember it), but I think this year I need some goals.  I will come back to my list through out the year and update it.

1.  Go on a trip with the hubby. accomplished April 25-May 3.
2.  Take the boys to a state we have never taken them.
3.  Go visit family in Denison, Iowa.  Done in June
4.  Go visit family in Wisconsin.  Done in July
5.  Send out cards to family and friends with birthdays- for the whole YEAR, starting in May January.
6.  Make 50% of Christmas gifts for the year.
7.  Make book sling for Maxwell's Room.

  1. Sounds like a great list! I know that I always intend to read more books than I actually do, so I would love to set a realistic goal like one every two months. Thanks for linking up!
