#50by50

So, I hit the BIG 4-0 January 20th.  It was a laid back low-key birthday. I did start out the day at Camp Gladiator and then learned how HOT hot yoga is! One of my favorite parts of the day, however, was heading to the park for a super fun photo shoot! Elaine got some SUPER fun photos!

In 2017, I gave myself a list of 40 things that I wanted to get done by the time I turned 40. You can find my whole list here.  Of course, I didn't finish the list.. 3 years is not very long.. and I have some lofty goals in there! Life happened.. money hardship happened... adulting happened.  What this did give me though, was a TON of fun adventures along the way!

Here is my list of 50 things I want to do by the time I am 50.  This gives me 10 years.. and these are not listed in any particular order (some are random.. some are weird...some of them might sound petty.. but if you don't speak it into the world sometimes it doesn't happen..all of them make happy!).  Not only that.. I know that I will have some other random adventures along the way (I mean.. I thrive on randomness!) But, it is good to have goals too.  There are so many websites out there that give you great idea for your own list. Some of the items on my #40by40 list have moved over to this one.. and some are completely new!
