It's my 31st birthday! Here is how my 31 by 31 list ended up looking!

As most of you know, I like to make lists of goals and desires to accomplish for a birth year. I started this in my 29th year with "30 things before 30" and have following up this year with "31 by 31". I don't punish myself if I don't accomplish everything as time (especially in my schedule) is a fickle thing. Actually, one thing that is being left undone this year was left undone the year prior as well: Seeing the last 2 missions in San Francisco and Sonoma. 

**Shucks, I guess I will just have to travel out to SF and Sonoma for a weekend and see friends and drink wine heartily. **

Either way, I am proud of what I have accomplished this year. While several things on the list had to change slightly (or even more) due to money and time, I feel like I did a decent job this year.
