I'm doing 40 things
We cleared out the majority of our excess possessions to donate to our church’s rummage sale a couple months ago, and then got rid of some more when we moved a few weeks ago. I still have a few boxes at my mom’s place from when I was younger, but I’m getting there.

How I did it
It made me
fulfilled 
How I did it: I met the love of my life, and within 2 months I knew that we would be together for the rest of our lives. I sacrificed more than I ever imagined I could, and waited longer than I had ever planned, but it was worth it. I am so happy to have such a wonderful husband! Read how I did it…
It made me
Extatic
How I did it: Well, I was uncomfortable for about 9 months...then REALLY uncomfortable for about 20 hours...and then he was here! He was born without any interventions. I was not induced, and I received no drugs during labor. Having a good support team there was the most important thing. Without Walter and my wonderful doula I would not have had such an amazing birthing experience. Now I am on to the wonderful journey of parenthood! Read how I did it…

Well, I enrolled in the community college Big Band for this spring semester. Looks like I’m going to force myself to learn some jazz. I know it will be challenging, but it will be really good for me too. I’ll update when the class starts and I find out what I’ve gotten myself into :)
Well, 10 days from when Gabriel was born, and I’m over 25 lbs down so far. Only 25 left to go…and then maybe a few more after that ;)
