30 While I’m 30

In March 2014 I turned 30 years old. I was dreading my birthday and when the day finally arrived, I barely allowed my friends and family to acknowledge the day.
I cried a little and then decided I would accomplish 30 things while I’m 30 – might as well try to be positive about it, right? You can see the original post HERE.
Here is the list with the completed dates or you can check out this post if you want to see photos!

    Just came across your blog! I was attracted to it because of the blue jay…I love birdies 🙂
    I LOVE that taking a ballet class is on your list! I've been doing ballet for years, and I love it when adult beginner students come in to take class. It really is an amazing form of exercise, even though it's pretty tough and it requires serious focus to remember EVERYTHING that goes into it, haha. I encourage you to try it! Find an adult ballet class in your area and go for it!

    Blessings, Emily
