Happy Birthday to me!

 

Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday dear me, Happy Birthday to ME!

Today is my 32nd birthday. Though according to some nice former students I have, I don’t look a day over 28 – bless them for that, if I still taught them I would give them all As.

Anyways, last year I started a “TO DO list” for myself, a bucket list of sorts for the year, 31 things that I wanted to do before I hit 32.    In my opinion I did pretty well on my list.  I was able to complete 16 of my bucket list items – I know percentage why that isn’t awesome, but I was still really pleased.

I’m not going to make excuses as to why I didn’t accomplish all of my list or things like that, but I must admit it was really quite fun to work through it.  Sometimes the list gave us a starting point for some of our adventures, other times it was overwhelming.

Because I enjoyed the list so much, I decided to make another list, my 32 things to do before I hit 33.  So here we go.
