And thus it begins...

If you have ever seen the movie "The Bucket List" you will know that a bucket list is a list of things you would like to accomplish before you kick the bucket.  Well this year I am turning 30 and in order to assuage some of the sting of it, I have made a sort of bucket list for myself.  I have created a list of 30 things I would like to do in my 30th year of life.  I would like to look back on this year and reflect that it was epic and wonderful instead of sad and depressing.  Because, to be honest, I am not looking forward to my birthday at all.  If I could, I would just erase February 8th from the calendar and pretend that it never happened.  Since that isn't going to happen, I am going to make this a year to remember and blog about it for all of you.  Happy New Year everyone!  Here is to one freakin' fabulous year!

My List:
1.  Go skydiving.
2.  Lose 30 pounds (or more, but I'm sticking with the 30 theme)
