30 while 30 and My 31st Birthday

3 days ago I turned 31. I spent the evening with my Husband and friends. We had dinner and lots of laughs. It was perfect. Last weekend we spent dinner with my family and my mom made us a delicious home cooked meal. Greg bought me a Watch  that I posted on an earlier blog post this year. It is beautiful. I also got a few Barnes & Noble and Starbucks gift cards! I Love it!

Being that 30 was a really hard year because of moving and sickness, I decided to make the most of 31 and enjoy all I can of it. I made the 30 While 30  list in September so technically I have a few months to finish up what I have left on the list. Below is the original list and what I have been able to accomplish. I am considering a "31" list but like I said I want to have an easy year. I am still going to keep posting monthly goals and my list. I love making goals!

Friend Making Monday!

FMM: Why Do You Blog?
I started blogging not knowing if I was ever going to make it public. My first post states just that. I did the blog for me as a way to collect my ideas and thoughts. Then I started reading more blogs and getting ideas for what I wanted to put into my blog. 
This blog is a little bit of everything that goes on in my life. It is lovely to have other people reading it and seeing what is important, funny and just the mundane that is my life. 

Thanks for stopping by!
