The List - It's Making a Comeback

Back when I turned 30 in 2010, I came up with this great idea of coming up with a list of 52 things I wanted to do.  Then in that year, I would do one thing a week and blog about it.  It started out well, and I marked some things off the list.  Then a dumb boy broke my heart and kind of crushed my desire to continue with the list for a while.  That was 18 months ago and I'm ready to start it back up.  Not to say I haven't had fun during that time, trust me, I did.  But, life got busy and I had other priorities.

So it's time to get back on track!  Here is the list, plus a few things I decided to add.  I am not putting a time limit on it, but it would be cool to finish them in the next year.  If you have any suggestions I should add to my list, I would love to hear them!  :)

I'll start posting the things that I have already accomplished during the week.

  2. Barbie - so many of those things could be accomplished if you headed SOUTH! Come to my house and you can ride a horse and see a windmill/wind farm (not the nostalgic Swedish type wood ones if that's what you're talking about - but the big white ones - lots of them). I'm also pretty certain I can arrange the tractor driving.
    If you want to add "work in a bee yard" we can arrange that too!
    Love ya!
