Hi, friends! What a wild couple weeks it’s been. I turned 29 a couple Fridays ago. Spent a few much-needed days with friends and family, and my heart is just bursting with happiness. I’m not one of those who gets overly emotional or worried about my age, but I do feel like this final year of my twenties is special. Closing out a decade of living and learning deserves to be met with some intention. So I’ve created (with your help) a list of thirty things I’d like to do before I turn the Big Three Oh in my next trip around the sun. And in no specific order, here it goes…Keep me accountable!

1. Take my first solo trip.
2. Wake up early one weekend morning and go hike the Wichitas.
3. Make it to the Great Salt Plains State Park.
4. Go visit a friend you need to/haven’t seen in a while.
5. Invite more friends over to break bread.
6. Do something that scares you. Skydiving?
7. Buy coffee for the person behind you in the drive-through.
8. Eat at Living Kitchen Farm and Dairy in Depew, Oklahoma.
