40x40 Bucket List Update
Holy cow, we are in 2021. Who would have thought. I started this list in 2015 around my 34th birthday. I thought it would be fun to review and see how far I made it on the list. My 40th will be here in a few months!
Looking down the list - I didn't do very well. Maybe I'll bring this list into my 40's and try to complete more of it by the time I turn 50!
