Birthday’s, they seem to come and go so quickly anymore. The past few years I haven’t really been into doing something big for my Birthday. A nice low key dinner with family is fine for me. Although, to celebrate my last Birthday in my 20’s we do have a camping and beach trip planned to finish out the summer. Maybe I’ll do something even bigger next year because it will be the big 3-0. Yikes! Although, I’m not really worried about venturing into my 30’s except for the fact that I’m not getting any younger (but who really is?) My 20’s have been amazing filled with endless blessings and if the next decade is anything like my last, than I have a lot to look forward to. As I only have a few more days left being 28, I wrote down a list of things I would like to do in my last year of my 20’s. Some of the things on this list (in no particular order by the way) I have already done, so these aren’t necessarily life goals but things I’d like to try and accomplish within the next year. Some of these things I haven’t done in what feels like forever and it would be nice to do them again. So here it goes, my 30 before 30…
1. Take a road trip
2. Travel somewhere exotic
3. Try a food I’ve never tasted
4. Volunteer more
5. Donate more (can’t you tell I’m getting old?)
6. Go canoeing or kayaking

20. Go fishing
21. Own a chicken
