HOLY SMOKES, 29 years old today!!  Where has the last few years of my life gone?  I feel like I have accomplished so much and still have so many un-accomplished dreams.  I decided on Thursday of this week that today I will do my 30 by 30 list.  It will be another post for today as I continue to work on it throughout the day.

My birthday so far today has been nice and relaxing, just my husband and myself.  We woke up and went to breakfast and then to the pet store to look at birds, I am trying to decide if I am ready to have birds as of yet.  I am still trying to get over the emotional attachment that I had with them and the fact that they are gone. 

Be on the look out for my "30 by 30" list.
