On October 12th, I turned 35 years old. Part of me feels like, "Whoa!
When did that happen?" And another part of me feels like, "Age is just a
number." I certainly don't feel 35, or at least not how I thought I
would feel at 35. I feel good.
I'm in the best shape of my life since high school (maybe better?), eating well, have a great husband and two awesome kids. I am lucky enough to be able to stay home with my kids right now, we have a new (to us) home, just went on a vacation to San Diego and to Peru. We've got great friends and family and relationships with them are better than ever. So things are good.
I was inspired by a friend who recently told me about her and a few girlfriends who were completing a "35 in 35" list - 35 things they'd always wanted to do but hadn't to accomplish in one year. So I decided to create my own list. Since I've been working out more, I added a few fitness related goals on my list, but then I also added some crafty things as well as some fun things (hello couples massage!)
I thought I'd share my list in an attempt to maybe inspire others but also for my own accountability! Feast your eyes on my list of 35 things I'd like to accomplish in my 35th year!
