I’ve spent several months reflecting on what I’d like to accomplish by the time I turn 40. I think I’ve completed my final list. My “Before 30 List” involved a lot of achievements. My “Before 40 List” is much more about experiences…
Ladies & Gentlemen, without further adieu, I present my official list of things I want to do before I turn 40 (in no particular order)…

I love to cook and I love to learn. I think culinary school would provide a fun and functional adventure for me. |

Scuba??? Yes please! I want to swim with some whales. |
![]() |
I want at least 2 kiddos! A boy and a girl would be perfect, but I would be so blessed to just have one! |

A South African Safari…what an experience?!?! |

I must, must, must go to Italy. This trip would not be limited to Rome. I want to see Venice, Naples, Lake Como, etc. |

I will definitely go to Greece. |

Israel is another must see. This would truly be the trip of a lifetime. I spent so much time studying the culture and the art, I would be in heaven. |

Last, but certainly not least is a trip to New Zealand. You can tube through caves!!! |
Of course, these would all be great experiences to have on my own, but I want to share them with the love of my life, my partner in crime – Wade. I know we’d have a blast no matter. Even if none of the adventures come to fruition, just being with him would be adventure enough for me. Thus far, he has been my biggest blessing and anything beyond having him in my life would simply be icing on the cake.
So, the countdown begins…11 years and 1 month until the big 4-0!
