Today is the official first day so the end date will be July 29, 2016. July is my birthday month, and I will actually be turning 29 in 2016...sometimes it is eerie how numbers work out.
Many items on this list coincide with my 30 by 30 list which is great since I will have less than a year to complete that list once I finish this one.
I thought it was difficult coming up with 30 things, so it was extremely tough compiling this list!
There are a lot of things I have been putting off (getting my wisdom teeth out, running a marathon, buying a new coat, etc) so I am excited to get cracking and get things done!
