As we all prepare to ring in the new year, I have chosen not to make a resolution. Instead, I have created a list of things for myself to accomplish by Oct 7th, 2011. On this day I will mourn my twenties and will unwillingly turn thirty years old. How can this be?! As much as I dread the age itself, I look forward to what the next decade holds :) The following list contains both small and big goals. It encourages me to learn and do some things I have wanted to for quite awhile. Hopefully this will put a happy spin on my next birthday. I will use this blog to update my progress over the next nine months. Ready, set, go!!!
