30 Before 30

I'm turning 30 in less than 5 months. It makes me hyperventilate just a little. Anyway, I decided to make one of the *30 Before 30* lists. Here's hoping I can accomplish most of these, if not all! You should make a list too! You could even do some of my fun things WITH me if you want!

1. Run at least one 5K race. Run a 10K (even if not an "official" one.)
2. Work on learning Spanish.
3. Write a letter to Brenna to give to her on her wedding day.
4. Pay for someone's food in the car behind me at a drive-through.

  1. First you know I'm game for the weekend trip! :) Second if you only have 5 months to read the Bible plus all those other books you better start reading NOW and keep a book in your hand at all times b/c those are not short books! Third, I would love to do the flashmob thing!! :) Lastly, you realize that the next 5 months are the coldest of the year...not a real good time to be backpacking overnight...but have fun with that! :-) Maybe I should do a 32 things before I turn 32 geesh I'm getting old!!!!!!!!!!
