...{...Birthday Bucket List...}...

Just a few days I ago I had a birthday!...turned 28 on the 30th.  28 feels...idk, just okay.  LOL.  Right now it sounds too old for me.  25 was a bit hard realizing I was half way through my 20's.  26 was a really good fit.  When I hit 27, I realized I was well on my way to 30...which just sounds way too old for me.  But somehow 30 is sounding less daunting the closer I get to it ;-)

Ever since I saw one of these lists, I've wanted to make one and couldn't wait until my birthday to start.  I was actually a bit surprised as I got about two-thirds into the list I had a harder time thinking of things to complete the list.  I'll try to keep it updated as I complete things.  And I'm thinking of adding it to my side bar so it will be easier for you to keep updated!



...now...in no particular order...

  1. go to a summer concert (really, really want to go to NKOTBSB)
  2. pay off credit cards
  3. learn to sew, crochet, knit, ribbon embroider, watercolor
  4. create an art journal

  1. I would like to go to a summer concert too. I also like the memorize one scripture a month idea and should do that too. I remember how we used to memorize scripture while at NCA and I have not been doing that as much and I need to be.

  6. Great list! I have to say that turning thirty wasn't bad at all! My thirties have actually been pretty great :) Now just wait until you are getting ready to turn 40 like me :) I swear I still feel like I am in my twenties sometimes. I've learned that age is really only a number! :)
