30 before 30!

Well that was a fast weekend! I have learned that the more fun I have on the weekends the faster the time goes by. I mean really, it was just Friday morning and here we are closing out a Monday. UGH!

None the less it was a great weekend.  I said goodbye to my babies after having them for two weeks, and we ended with of course the pool and lunch. Then I celebrated the recent marriage of a good friend of mine Saturday night. Finally the Babylove and I ended the weekend cuddled up watching movies all day Sunday, until we went to the pool so he could begin teaching me to swim!

Speaking of learning how to swim, it is one of the things I would love to cross off my 30 before 30 list. I think having a list of goals or things you would like to achieve by a certain time is a great idea. Not goals your parents set for you, or accomplishments your teachers would like to see you achieve but things you would actually like to see yourself do, things you yearn to do, things you are passionate about.

It does not have to be anything amazing or spectacular just something for you. I started my list a year ago after reading one that my friend had posted; I take pride in being able to cross things off my list no matter how small. I do not have extraordinary things on my list because a) I want to actually do the things on my list and b) some extraordinary things just are not my cup of tea. I am simple in my taste of things and I would say that my list reflects just that. Here is my list, and with only 4 and a half more years left to go, I am eager to begin crossing off more things!  I hope to hear some of yours!
