That was written on the eve of my 27th birthday... Not a particularly big birthday, so I took the opportunity to put together a list of things I’d like to accomplish before the REAL birthday. The day the clock officially starts ticking. The day of doom. The day the hammer drops. {My 30th birthday…for those not catching on.} So come along and track my progress as I work through my list!
1. Have a baby. {Let’s just get that one out of the way…}
2. Go on a family vacation with any branch of our gargantuan family. {Third party locations only. Visiting relatives does not count.}
3.
4. Spend a weekend in Martha’s Vineyard.
