Today is my 27Th Birthday and it's just another day for me. But I was looking at a friend's blog and she had a list of 27 things that she would like to complete by her next birthday. I thought, that's a GREAT idea, so here is my list (thanks Laurie-Ann):
1. Get back to my pre-pregnant weight. It's been four years since my last one and I'm not having more so there is no more excuses!!
2. Fluently speak Spanish. (I know it's funny to some who were in Spanish class with me but I am doing better this time around)
3. Have REGULAR monthly dates with my husband.
4. Do more family activities that are FREE!!
5. Take the kids to the shore! Sad, but they have never seen the ocean.
6. See Randy and Yuko in Japan. This might be a hard one to do, but I'm going to try!
7. Go on a vacation with Jake and NO KIDS!
8. See Erin and the girls more this year.
9. Go to NJ a least one more time this year.
10. Do a 5 mile hike on the Appalachian trail.
11. Read a series that isn't classified as teen/youth. It's time to put down Harry Potter and Twilight.
12. Get caught up on my scrapbook. This may take me all year.
13. Get the yard cleaned up.
14. Build a shed with Jake to get the tools out of the house!
15. Actually stick to our budget.
16. Finish my closet so we can finish our bedroom.
17. Get back to school, so I can complete my degree.
18. Get all my photos scanned into the computer and on jump drives.
19. Bring Erin and the girls down to VA for a few days.
20. Actually use my reusable shopping bags.
21. Being more involved in recycling.
22. Getting the kids to actually keep their rooms clean for more than a day. This will probably be a tough one.
23. Plant a garden and keep it.
24. Refinish our dresser. Sad, but it's still the same when I was a kid.
25. Take more pictures of the kids and the beautiful nature around us.
26. Keep in better contact with old friends, so I don't go another ten years before talking to them.
27. COMPLETE THIS LIST!!!!
I really hope that I can challenge myself enough to do all I want to do. Believe me, it's going to be a task!!

Your list sounds great! I have already started to check off some of my stuff, but I think it will still be work! Happy Birthday! It was so good to hear from you, plus your kids are pretty cute!
Great list Amber...or should I say Yolanda!
You are so great and I love you to pieces. I wish we lived closer, I would totally go hiking with you, and garden with you and take trips with you, and babysit your kids for the weekend. I would help you do all those things on that list. It looks like we need to live closer.
Miss you,
Love Lola!!!
