30 on 30

I decided that I wanted to do something fun for my 30th birthday because it is a significant milestone birthday. After some thought and discussion with my roommate I settled on doing 30 things of 30 on my 30th birthday.

My friend Amanda and I share a birthday so we decided to hang out and have some birthday fun together. She joined me on some of my 30 things of 30 and did some of them 24 times for her birthday.

Here is a list of what I did.

The next step is to do 40 by 40. I am making a list of 40 different things or goals I want to do by the time I turn 40. Here is a sample of some I have thought of so far.

1. I want to throw one penny in 40 different fountains each in a different city.
2. I want to make 40 costumes from scratch.

We are starting a 40 by 40 movement. Join us in it and post your pictures. If you have past 40 you can do it for whatever age you are at.
