I made this list before my 29th birthday (obviously?). I’m surprised how many I have done so far in just the last few months, but I’m getting all revved up to get to work on them before October. Some of these are a bit more…abstract than concrete in terms of goals go, but I think you’ll see where my mind was headed as I prepared for my last twenty-something birthday.
1. Finish paying off my student loans.
2. Write a letter to someone I admire to say ‘thank you.’
3. Figure out who God is to me.
4. Do something sweet for my husband.
