Okay - So my list has started... Only had a couple suggestions, so I am needing a bunch more... But here is what I have so far.


1 - Use my cookbooks to try 29 new recipes.
2 - Visit “Carlo’s Bakery” in Hoboken, NJ and buy a cake or cookie from them.
3 - Go camping for the first time.
4 - Go to the Ohio state fair..
5 - Run a 10K or ½ marathon…and finish without stopping.
6 - Kiss my husband in the rain.
7 - Learn to play guitar.
8 - Learn to sew.
9 - Do 29 hours of volunteer work.
10 - Take a road trip with my best friend.
11 - Read more.

As you can see - I am not quite there yet - so I need more help! They can be fun, random things too. I'm open to most suggestions!!

Needing Suggestions...

I have come to the realization that I am about to be 29 years old (Yes, I knew it already, but just hear me out!)... I have just 2 months and 7 days and I am in my last year of my 20's. And while I have done a lot over the years, traveled and experienced so much over the years, I know there are still things that I want to do, and have not been able to do them yet. So, since I have graduated from college, I am now married, and we do not have any kids right now, I figured it is the best time to make a list of some things that I still want to do before I turn 30 years old.

Which is why I thought it would be a good idea to make a list of things I want to do before I turned 30...

...29 Things To Do While I Am 29...

But - I need help figuring out what all I should have on this list. I have a few things in mind that I want on the list but not sure I have 29 things yet. So since I have just over 2 months to make this list, I thought getting some input on what I should have on the list would be a good thing. Now, they have to be decent, appropriate things - so if your suggestion isn't appropriate, please keep it to yourself. :-) But if you have a good suggestion, something that you have done and are glad you did or something you wish you would have done before you had kids or whatever - I'd gladly welcome the suggestions! And when I get the list finalized, I will post it - near my birthday so that you can all see it. Then, as things get marked off the list, I will tell all about them.

So I need 29 things to do in the 365 days that I am 29years old. Here's to making a fun list!!

Thinking

Sometimes we all need someone to talk to but we don't know who that person is... and it seems like there are times we cry out to everyone, but no one truly hears us or what we are saying. I know I am not the only one who has ever felt this way. It's sad that in a world as big as this one that we live in that something like this can happen. Especially when we have so many people in our lives.

You know, it's weird how many times we cry out and cry out and seem to ask for help but it's always overlooked. You get told "oh, you're having a bad day" or "It's okay, this will pass" or even "maybe God is trying to teach you something"... The funny thing is, what if you really feel like you need someone to talk to... someone who won't judge you or hold anything you say against you later??

Now, I know that not everyone feels this way, nor has everyone ever felt this way. But is it possible that maybe there are a few people out there who need someone.. Someone to talk to them or better yet, someone to listen to them.

I guess I have just been praying that I can be that someone for someone... And if that is something I am willing to do...makes me wonder who you can be that person for in your life. There are so many people who need someone to talk to them, just seems that there are many people who need someone to just listen to them and we should all be willing to be that listener for them.

Just my thoughts...
