28 while 28.
On September 6, 2011 I turned 28 years old. I’ve had the opportunity to do and experience more in this life already than most do in twice as many years. Yet, I want more! There is so much to see, do, and experience in this world that I want to make the most of every day, every year, that I am blessed to have on Earth.
I want 28 to be an amazing, life-changing year. I want to look back and remember this as being a year where I was challenged, grew, learned about the world, and learned about myself. I feel deep down that 28 will be something special.

I’m just seeing this list now. I love how you worked the number 28 into each item on the list! I have a similar 30 Before 30 list, but wasn’t as creative as you. You can see my list at http://www.livebreathehuzzah.com/30-before-30/
