40 before 40
I’ve been seeing this a lot on other blogs and have been inspired to create my own list of 40 things to do before I turn 40. I’m a little scared though because I turn 40 in October!
Okay, not this October but in four years! October 2014!
Am I going to make it? Are you going to help me? Is there anything on this list you want to do together? Eeek! The pressure is getting to me. Make your own list and let’s get crackin’!

About the time your husband was getting injured mine had made it through the Med board and been released medically to finally return home to us. It is funny what you say about adding things to a list that you already did as I was telling my husband that i do that the other day when making a list to make us feel better about the things we did already.
