  1. Hi! I am stopping by from the Blog Hop (actually, you visited my blog first), and I have to tell you that I LOVE your list! I hope that you reach all of your goals (especially becoming a mother – it's the best. Although, you read my post about the end of pregnancy, so you know what you'll have to go through to get there.) So glad to have found your blog too! And I'm inspired…I think I'm going to start working on my "40 by 40" list. 🙂

    • Very cool. Yeah I have a pretty good idea what getting to and being a parent will be like (although obviously I won't *really* know until I'm there). Actually, knowing all that goes into it is part of the reason it hasn't happened yet, ha!

      Glad I inspired you to make your own list of goals. I look forward to seeing it. 🙂

  2. Hi there, thanks for commenting on my blog and my 30 by 30 list. Great to read you list too – we have quite a few things in common. I'm also wanting to visit every state but I'm giving myself no time limit on that one yet, it's not so easy from Scotland, I've been to 12 already though so I'm getting there. Good luck with your list, I look forward to hearing how you get on.

    • Yeah I noticed we have a lot in common.

      I don't blame you for not having a time limit on the states. Coming from Scotland that can't be easy although 12 is a really great start!

      Look forward to keeping up with your list too 🙂
