40 before 40

So on my next birthday (in January), I will be 37.  37???!?!  Somehow that number seems a lot older than 36.  A lot closer to 40.  It's so funny how I still feel every bit of 25 on the inside even as my age goes up each year.

As I thought about how close I am to getting to that BIG milestone of a birthday, I thought I would make a list of 40 things I want to do before turning 40.  I would love to travel the world before I'm 40, but that's not likely to happen in the next 3 years, so I tried to set my goals a little lower and a little closer to home.  :)

So, here they are, in no particular order:

1. Go on a zip line 
2. Go on a cruise
3. Read the entire Bible 
4. Donate hair 
5. Give blood
6. Sing karaoke 
7. See the sun rise and set over the ocean in the same day
8. Go on a romantic getaway (with Carlos - just to clarify)
9. Read 40 books
10. Own my own business 
11. Go to DragonCon in Atlanta
12. Swim with dolphins
13. See The Nutcracker Suite live
14. Be able to plank for one minute
15. Get a professional massage
16. Ride in a hot air balloon
17. Ride in a horse and carriage
18. Sleep in a yurt
19. Attend my 20 year high school reunion (eek!)
20. Stay at a Disney resort  
21. Build a sand castle
22. Fly a kite
23. Take a zumba class
24. Spend a whole day at a spa
25. Go to the Georgia Aquarium
26. Complete 40 random acts of kindness
27. Get at least one Stitch Fix
28. Build a book Christmas tree display
29. Feed ducks with the kids
30. Finish all unfinished scrapbooks
31. Watch all the Star Wars movies (while staying awake)
32. Put together a 1,000 piece puzzle
33. Ride the Atlanta skywheel
