Hello. Life happened *forcing* me to take a 16-month hiatus from blog writing. It was probably a good stopping point as I don't think "New to Oregon" is an appropriate blog title for someone who had been living in the state for more than a year.
But I digress. What brings me back? Well, a lot of reflection on life. I am turning 29 next month which has gotten me thinking about the big 3-0. I've wondered if I've been doing everything I can to live a fulfilling life up to this point. And I realized there are some experiences I have missed out on and one thing led to another and I started thinking about composing a bucket list of thirty things to complete before my 30th birthday in 2013.
So I put my thinking cap on and tried to compile a list of trips, activities, must-see local things, etc... that would be super cool (and feasible) to do. I have come up with twenty-two(ish) things - some more meaningful than others (getting a stamp in my passport is more meaningful than going to a drag show) but I need your help rounding out this list. I have tried to produce a balanced list of travel & local activities, expensive and free, thrilling and chill, etc...
And now I turn to you for your input. Put your thinking caps on and get creative! What should I try to do in my twenty-ninth year to make it meaningful? Learn a new activity? Try a new sport? Take a special vacation? Try yoga? That one's for you Mom, though it probably won't make my final cut.
I promise to have my complete list of thirty things on or before my birthday this year. The catch? I won't actually share it with you then. I will update this blog as I cross items off this list so you will only learn about them as I complete them. Sounds fun, no?
So start thinking about this and let me know what your ideas are. I am very excited to get some new perspectives on my bucket list.
Thank you! :-)
