Trish & Amy

One winter night we (Trish and Amy) were sitting by the fire drinking wine and started talking about our upcoming birthdays when we’ll be turning 40.

We talked about planning a big bash sometime around our birthdays (our birthdays are about a month apart in the fall) and in the process of discussing the possibilities (France, Italy, Egypt?), we decided to come up with an entire list of things we wanted to do before we turn 40.

We thought a list of 40 things was appropriate, and we wanted most of these things be that which we could do together. Short of actually doing them together, at the very least we needed a list of things that we would both be willing to commit to.

Since 40 epic things is perhaps a bit unrealistic to manage in under a year, we came up with a list that was challenging, but still achievable. You’d likely to be surprised at which ones each of us found simple and which ones we each deemed ambitious.

You can see our list here and follow the progress here on this blog!
