71 Years To Go!

So, I'm turning 29 this week and birthday time is usually reflection time... followed by a corner slice of cake! Better than New Years, birthdays are a less arbitrary time to make goals because the whole world isn't doing it at the same time and you're not bombarded by gym and weight loss supplement commercials that make you feel like being muscle-y is all that matters. I've decided to list my goals for my 29th year in a public place. . .

1. Learn how to tap dance
2. Run a 5K. (By this I mean actually run the whole thing. NO walking!)
3. Read one classic novel every month
4. Get my A1C below 8%
5. Travel outside the country to a place I've never been (on top of the Peru trip)
6. Learn how to play at least 10 songs on my guitar!!!!
7. Talk more to the guys that I find interesting and less to the ones that are nice but unintimidating.
8. Finish my first masters degree
9. Start my second
10. Fall out of love with candy. (This may be impossible, but a girl can try!)
11. Get in good enough shape to hike Machu Picchu and stay that way well after the trip

If you read this, you can now hold me accountable... even better, you can join me! Let's dance/run/read/travel/study together!
