It’s my birthday!

29 on the 29th!

It’s my *Golden Year*.

I learned that term from my friend, Ryan. It’s the year that your birth date is also your age. I intend to live it up & make it my best year yet!

Since it is my golden year, & next year I’ll be 30, I thought I’d do a variation on the ’30 before 30′ lists I’ve seen floating around.

Here are 29 things I’d like to accomplish my 29th year:

1. Read the Bible regularly.
2. Volunteer.
3. Lose weight.
4. Get more serious about fitness.
5. Make Spanish more of a priority at home.
6. Throw a fancy dinner party.
7. Go to a gun range.
8. Go to local high school football games.
9. Read more books.
10. Learn a (simple) new make up look.
11. Get more serious about my book business.
12. Paint more.
13. Build something with my hands.
14. Donate blood.
15. Grow my hair long (& healthy) to donate.
16. Visit a new city in Florida.
17. Fast.
18. Pay for someone else’s coffee.
19. Send a care package to a soldier.
20. Bake a soufflé.
21. Be more intentional about making new friends.
22. Hand make (most) Christmas presents this year.
23. Pay off debt.
24. Go on a painting/cooking/activity date with my husband.
25. Go see more local shows/events.
26. Go to one of the Orlando theme parks.
27. Work on knife & butchery skills.
