35 by 35

At some point in the last few months I realized that I had all these ideas of things I wanted to do - or at least say that I had TRIED to do - but they were just ideas floating around.  Loving lists the way that I do, I assembled my 35 by 35 list. So, dear friends and random interwebbers, I present to you 35 things that I want to do before I turn 35.  I have a handy countdown on my phone that tells me I have 586 days to attempt and accomplish the following:

Congrats on the Master's Degree! That's kind of a ginormous thing to be able to cross off.

I want to do the color run too. The Warrior dash looks awesome too! Might have to add that to my list.
