Today Adrian and I were talking about how much we have accomplished, really it stemmed from the random conversation of how crazy it is that this is our last child. We started talking about my 30 before 30 list, which at this point in my life is 100% complete! I think after my 30th b-day I only had 3 or 4 things left and I did them all! Not to bad by 33 (well, 34 in a week or so).
Anyways, we were talking about how currently we didn’t have any huge goals we were striving for. It was a bit depressing thinking that way, so we started thinking of things we would want in the next year, 5 years, and 10 years. Since my 30 before 30 list kept me accountable and motivated to actually complete things I thought it was time to get my next list going!! Although 40 items seems a bit daunting to even consider! I’m going to try! (PS. credit for the logo goes to http://www.inthemakingdesign.com/)
