Making Progress...Io scrivo

1. Learn a new language
30 to 30 italian
I chose to learn Italian.  Little did I know, well according to my mother, that it is one of the hardest languages to learn.  I, however, am doing quite well with it, especially with the help of the FREE app, DuoLingo.  I was even able to show off my skills when P was over the other day, he was very impressed!  I am able to say that I am a vegetarian, I do not eat beef, chicken, pork or fish.  I also am able to say "you are the man."  That phrase may have been what impressed him.

2. Video Interview Relatives

We had our annual reunion-ish family get together this past weekend, which provided me with the perfect opportunity to film my family members favorite childhood memories.  Some were a little hesitant to share (fear of being in front of the camera), but others shared detailed memories.  The best part about doing this was the conversations that it led the interview. My favorites were definelty

What it's all about


I am less than three months out from my 30th birthday... Instead of stressing about age, I have decided to jump right on in, but not before accomplishing a thing or two before my birthday.  With much help and inspiration I have created a 30 to 30 list; a few items are still blank and a few are subject to change.
 Creating this list was a little difficult since I live in snowy Ohio (there is currently a blizzard outside as I type this), thus limiting certain adventures.  However, despite the cold, I will make my best attempts to accomplish the items on this list, of course with a little help from my family and friends!  I am more than ecstatic to tackle this list and focus on the positive exciting experiences that await!
