I know ~ SHOCKING!
I don’t really quite know what to do with this information. I am anticipating celebrating this special day with those close to me. I am hoping with 30 comes a maturity I haven’t found in my 20’s. I am excited to leave this decade - one of hard choices, tough memories, bad decisions - and enter into a new era.
I realize I may be putting a little to much significance to 30. I know it’s just a number. But I don’t want this day to just go by. I don’t want it to be “just another birthday.”
Here’s my 30 by 30… My list of “to-do’s” I’d like to complete before my big day comes.

30's are way better than your 20's. Minus the crow's feet I am spotting around my eyes, I'm digging this time. : )
ReplyDeleteI share a lot of the same things on your list. Go for it girl!
I just love your list!! And I love being in my 30's...to me they are much better than the 20's. Those are great things you want to do, I'd like to do a lot of those too :)
ReplyDeleteI love your list! You gave me some good ideas for one of my own. I'll be 29 in December so I'll have a good year ;) can't wait to see how you do on yours!

ReplyDeleteWhat is a {Blessings and Praises} Prayer Journal? Sounds interesting!
And as far as meal planning, my sister is my meal buddy :) We alternate weekends and send each other a weeks worth of dinner ideas/recipes and that's whats for dinner each night. It was my turn to create dinner menu last week and I had alot of crockpot dinners. So far it's working out really well :)
