40 Before 40

This last Monday was a big day for me. I turned the BIG 3-5! I know, it's not a big birthday, like 21 or 40 or even 30, but for me it feels like it. I felt like with this birthday making me closer to 40 then 30 it was time for me to start making some goals.

I decided to try and go for 40 things to try and get done before I turn 40. I wasn't even sure that I could come up with 40 things that I wanted to do, but once I started and looked on the internet for some inspiration I realized there are a lot of things on my "to-do" lists.

As I get things done I will cross them off on a Master List here. I will also be posting on my journey as I accomplish things, and will link them to the Master List.
