40 Things to do before I turn 40 eek!

So I started on this list in January of 2011, no kidding. I have been wanting to finish it by my 37th Birthday. Ya ya some stuff I already did BUT it was after I started the list. My friend Frances gave me this idea, she turns 40 the same year I do. Her list was "kind of" unrealistic, sorry Frances a girl can dream but who can afford Europe and a kids college savings account in three years?! 

I went the more realistic route that will push me a bit. It was super fun to write and come up with the  List.  I know I will alter it before I turn 40! You know like add 40 more things to it!
