31 before 31 Recap

As I near the six month mark till I'm 31 I felt it was time to check the progress of my 31 list.

I haven't been good about blogging with a busy few months of work travel, some medical issues, and life changes. All is good now and I hope to be better about blogging the next six months. As I look over what I have left off the checklist it looks like a lot of cooking and eating... I'll be working on updating the blog on some completed items.
