For those of you who were watching, my 25th birthday has come and gone. It’s been a few months already, and the year is humming along quite nicely. That means it’s time to start thinking about the next birthday challenge. I’ve taken some time to come up with a list for this year, and I’m pretty excited about it. A few of the items are holdovers from last year, things I didn’t quite get around to completing. Since I’m starting significantly earlier this time around, I’m feeling pretty good about my odds of finishing. Take a look at the list, and let me know if you want to take part in any of my upcoming adventures!
