Today is my 29th Birthday! Happy Birthday to me!
This time last year, I put together a little list – 28 things in my 28th year – I must admit that after creating the list, I may or may not have forgotten about it for a bit. Oops. But every now and then, throughout the year I would come back to it, make some notes, write a few things down about what I had done & what was still on my little list. Unfortunately I didn’t 100% knock off everything I wanted to do, but I did so much in the past 12 months & really had an amazing year.
Here is a look back at my little list – what I did, what I didn’t do – I’m thinking of re-working it a bit and making a big bucket list of thing I want to do before the big 3-0!
*********************************
1- Move to a new Apartment in Center City
- Done & done! Celebrating 1 Year in Fairmount this July!
2- Experience Paddleboard Yoga
- I am obsessed. Got some awesome pictures getting my SUP on!
3- Go to China for a Family Wedding
- Such an amazing trip – We went to the Great Wall, a wedding, Shanghai & more!
4- Complete a Week Long Juice Fast
- I completed a 3 day long juice cleanse – that counts, right?
5- More Yoga
- I have been on a Bikram yoga kick this Spring/Summer – one of my favorite ways to sweat
6- Fly high in the Philadelphia Zoo balloon
- on our to-do list this summer – we have tickets already!
7- Run the Ben Franklin Bridge
- still on our list – hopefully I can make this happen in the next few months or so!
8- Customize & purchase a colorful pair of Nike Free Runs
- saving up for a custom pair, but I did pick up some purple Nike Frees on sale (score!) and I got these awesome colorful kicks recently too – neon pink multi? Yes please!
9- Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
- I think I will always need a constant reminder of this
10 – Take Charles back to Jamaica
- Didn’t make it back to Jamaica but we did spend a few glorious days in an amazing ocean view room in Atlantis, The Bahamas
11- Read the Game of Thrones book series
- Winter is Coming – been reading these on my kindle at the gym & at the beach
12- Complete my wedding gown makeover
- Done & done – we have special dinner plans in the next few weeks & I plan to wear it and share on the blog! Stay tuned!
13- Invest in a Road Bike
- After my bike was stolen, I ended up with a brand new ride!
14- Save up for a lululemon Specialized helmet
- Ended up picking out a Bern helmet which has an option to add a visor & ear warmers that snap into the helmet to brave the elements – cool, huh?
15-Worry Less. Laugh More.
- duh.
16- Join a Crossfit Box with Charles
- Since our move there isn’t a convenient location for this, but we have been going to the gym more together
17- Run a 5K with Charles & Finish the Race Hand in Hand.
- We didn’t run any official 5K’s but we have run a lot more together in the past year, which I really love.
18- Embrace Wheel Pose (it’s my Everest!)
- I think this will always be a work in progress for me
19- Weekend Long Girls Trip with my Besties!
20- Spend Less. Save More
- I will always need this reminder in my life
21- Take Jackson on more Outdoor Adventures
- Living so close to Fairmount park, Lemon Hill & Kelly Drive this has been easy to do!
22- Go Floating down the Brandywine River
- Still on our to-do list!
23- Read the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy
- Done & done – can’t wait for the movie!
24- Blog More.
- I went on a little hiatus last year for a while but since then I have been blogging just about every day. This little blog is something that I love
25- Organize Our wedding Album
- Done & done!
26- Create 5 recipes from Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking
- I’ve made lots of amazing meals this past year, but none from Julia Child – need to do this!
27- Make more time for Family & Friends
- Love this & I love my friends.
28- Celebrate each moment!
- Yes & Yes!

I LOVE this!! I need to make a list of things I KNOW will make me happy and hold myself accountable for completing it.
Happy birthday! I’d say you got quite a bit completed on the list (and it was quite the list..I must say!)
My birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, so I should probably work on my 28 before 28 list, huh? Oops!
Happy birthday for yesterday. What a lovely positive list, and you’ve achieved so much of it! Congratulations.
You should be proud because you accomplished alot! Congratulations!
This was a really neat list. My 28th is on the 7th and I think I’m going to make my own list. Thanks for the inspiration!
