The Thirty Challenge
Back in October 2010, I posted a 30 before 30 list. As I complete items, I’ll cross them off in red. If I’ve blogged an update about tackling a challenge, I’ll include that after it. I’ll be thirty on August 7, 2013. If you want to join me a similar-minded challenge, let me know and I’ll link back to you in this section! Here is my list:
1.) Visit Italy
2.) Go camping out west
3.) Go to Maine
4.) Run a 5K in under twenty minutes
5.) Have a short story or something else I’ve written published
6.) Visit a couple of wineries and breweries with Kyle
7.) Have a BABY (after getting married to that man I love so much!)
8.) Buy a new home or at least be paying down a plot of land to build on
9.) Take a class for something I’ve never taken before–photography, art, karate?
10.) Use Spanish skills for something other than work in a meaningful way
11.) Participate and complete NaNoWriMo
12.) Consistently make and follow a weekly menu for three months
13.) Randomly give $100 to a single mom
14.) Have green, luscious grass for a season
15.) Take my mom on vacation somewhere
16.) Throw someone I love a surprise party
17.) Have $____ in my savings account. (It feels too weird to publicly post an actual dollar amount!)
18.) Host Thanksgiving or Christmas for my family
19.) Be able to swim ten laps without stopping
20.) Learn how to style my own hair well
It’s about as good as I can hope for!
21.) Take my 92-year-old grandma out on a date
22.) Have a functioning garden where I can get a lot of my produce
23.) Sew something wearable or usable
24.) Purchase a really nice camera and learn how to use it
25.) Cut down a Christmas tree as opposed to dragging it up from the basement. (According to the boyfriend, this is a definite this year!)
26.) Get in the car with Kyle and Aidan, have bags packed for the weekend and drive with no destination
27.) Make a big life decision based on passionate, heartfelt goals rather than security
28.) Clean and organize my home so well it could be move-out ready in a week
29.) Buy myself a pair of shoes I love no matter the cost
I bought some beautiful boots.
30.) Visit a couple of bed and breakfasts in obscure places with Kyle
