30 while 30 {the end}

Today is my 31st birthday. I cannot believe an entire year has passed since I was celebrating my 30th birthday with my family!

 In an ideal world I would have 30 tasks checked off my list at this point, alas, I prepped for and executed a move across the world over the past few months which left little time for my 30 while 30 goals.  I am happy with the 22 goals I did accomplish though.  I'm not going to do a 31 while 31, instead I'm working on a very exciting list of goals to accomplish while we're living in California.  Hopefully I'll have that completed and ready to share with y'all in a few days.

Hi, Jes! I found your blog through Kara @ Ramblings of a Marine Wife.

I'm trying to put together a San Diego military spouse blogger get together. (I just moved here too so I don't know anyone) and I was wondering if you would be interested in joining in! Would you mind emailing me if you're interested? katie (dot) plume (at) gmail (dot) com

Thanks so much!
Katie
