Update: 30 Before 30

On recent vacation I got the opportunity to scratch another item off my 30 before 30 list. In our beach front condo the owners had a box of beach goods and toys for guests to use. Amongst all of the vacation necessities was a G.I. Joe kite and we toted down to the sandy shore. The wind was perfect and I easily got the kite up in the air. It was totally exhilarating to run along the shoreline and see the tail of the kite to begin to flutter as it climbed higher and higher. Though the G.I. Joe kite may not have been ideal (or mature!) it was perfect for accomplishing that goal.

I thought now would be a good item to post my progress on my 30 by 30 list. With 195 days to go, I am pretty happy to have some major things crossed off but there is still a ways to go.

  1. Well my 30th birthday has come and gone but I'm thinking of doing a 40 before 40 list. Im still on the fence if it would be a good thing for me (or make me really depressed when I turn 40)

  4. Kite flying is the best! I'm a newly 30-something and I never did a 30 before 30 list. Guess I gotta do a 40 before 40 list... but I really don't want to think about 40! ;) xo
