A Denver Home Companion | 28

the photo my mom posted on my facebook wall this morning to tell me happy birthday.

last year i wrote a list of 27 things i wanted to do in my 27th year.

nevermind that i still don’t know how to change my own bike tire and we never took off for a weekend road trip (though a fair amount of air travel happened). 27 was a good year. this past year has been full and good and busy and rewarding. and 28? well, here’s to it always getting better.

rather than a list of 28 things that i’d rather not stress about completing in the next 365 days, here are some things i’ve been thinking i’d like to accomplish, ideally before i turn 30.

  • have a second child
  • pay off student loans
  • use financial freedom to explore other business opportunities (i would love a shop of my own)
  • continue to grow my blog & the solid interweb community of other writers, artists, and like-minded women i feel blessed to be a part of.
  • keep reading lots of books
  • get my butt outside more.

jp has to work today (but he spoiled me rotten the past two days). so i will be celebrating by taking ramona to the children’s museum later on (free day!) followed up by happy hour w a dear friend. cheers all!

    Happy Birthday to you! Your things to accomplish list sounds great. Your own store would be awesome and another kid? That would be a wonderful challenge x
