84. Build a piece of furniture

So despite completely remodeling a house, including building a fireplace TV stand, barn doors, etc. I have not actually just made a new piece of furniture in awhile. So the official piece of furniture is a desk built for Aunt Kathy. It was exciting to build since it had to go in an octagon-ish shaped room, and had to be built around the windows on every wall.

36. Go to 3 New Cities (1/3)

Business trip to St. Louis, was able to see the arch and a cardinals game. Awesome baseball town!

58. Spontaneously fly to a random location

This was tied into the Marthas Vineyard trip as a surprise where Tegan brought me to the small airport in Groton and we took a private plane over to the island. The flight out was a mere 1,500 miles off the ground during fall, so the view was A-mazing!

35. Marthas Vineyard

Due to a surpirse for my birthday from Tegan, I was able to see Martha Vineyard for the first time. Ended up being quite the adventrous trip with a questionable flight due to stormy conditions, a half mile run in the rain to dinner, and a 15 minute pack and run to the ferry in order to safely make it off the island for hurricane like conditions. All in all, a pretty awesome trip.

1. Lose 30 Pounds (35/30)

Thus far I have lost 35-40 lbs depending on the day. The best thing to compare it to would be the Penguin plunge pictures below... crazy how much different I look. I made it through the holidays without gaining any of it back, so I am hoping to make it through this list staying under the 30 lbs mark, instead of the 15 lbs mark set.

30. Donate all old clothes to charity

FYI: While the bin clearly states that they only accept clothes and shoes, you could clearly see an umbrella and electronics of some sort! (Both clearly indicated in the red circle with a line through it to the left of my head.)

Penguin Plunge

Needless to say it was cold, but shockingly when you jump in, your brain kinda forgets that you are cold... along with everything else as it shuts down for a good 30 seconds.
