30 before 30 update.

I've been slacking... on a lot of things lately, one being my 30 before 30 list.

oh well.  I'm allowed.  :)   it's my list, if I want to slack then I'm gonna slack ;)

so, a couple weekends Steven and I went to Boston for a couple of days and the weekend before that we went to an auction - 2 things down!!!

here's the list with my updates...

28. 5k, 10k, half marathon. [need to pray about this.]
29. shoot a gun. [for the first time!]
30. have a kick butt 30th birthday party!

I've still got a lot to get done - I doubt I will accomplish everything - some of this stuff costs too much money right now that we really don't have - like the painting, the landscaping and redecorating my office.  I'm just going to focus on the inexpensive (or free) fun stuff!!!
