I'm doing 30 things
I am actually nervous about this goal. It’s a goal that I have had for years, but never really voiced until now. However, I know that once I write it down, and especially after I post it in cyberspace, it is a done deal. I will stubbornly have it as a real goal for the rest of my life until I can somehow drive myself to do it.
I am terrible at running, but it’s supposed to be good for you, right? Well, right now I can barely walk quickly for more than an hour, so this is something to shoot for.

How I did it
It made me
Loved! 
How I did it: I fell in love with a man I met on Match.com, tricked him into proposing, and kept reminding myself that I didn't REALLY want to elope It was really important to remind myself that I didn't really care that mush about envelope liners, or table card stationary, and that as long as people had fun, that was all that mattered. It turned out that I was right! Read how I did it…

Currently, the tradition I have my eye on is the lamb cake for Easter tradition. I have a surveyed the cake molds on Amazon, and I am definitely on my way to picking one up. The trick is that Erik doesn’t like coconut. I can alter the recipe and still call it a family tradition, right?
I have conferenced with my cousin about financial planning. Can you believe it! It sounds SO grown up! But, there it is. My husband already invests a little bit but now we are on our way: annuities, 401K all of that. Crazy stuff, man.
