32 before 32 coming up!
Shannon's update to her 31 list inspired be to get back to it with my birthday coming up next Monday. I didn't make a 31 before 31 list because it was a busy year, but here are some notable things we accomplished this year that I checked off of my mental list. I had such a fun year being off, and I didn't want it to end :( But I will look forward and make a list for 32 things before I'm 32! I'll put some thought into it though, so it's attainable stuff (realistically things are super hard to get done now haha)
