It dawned on me at the beginning of January that this year I would be turning 30. 30 seems so old to me. To be honest, I don’t feel a day over 22. I don’t think I could possible be turning the big 3-0! When someone asks my age I really have to think about it. I decided to make the transition a little easier I would create my 30 before 30 list. There are a lot of things I would like to accomplish in the next 8 months. I started creating my list and working on it the beginning of January, but everything on it must be accomplished between January 1st, 2014 and October 4th 2014.
So, here goes my list…in no particular order.
3) Run 500 miles
4) Read 15 new books
5) Go to the top of the Arch in St. Louis
8) Start to read the Bible in a year…be caught up to October 4th on the one year plan
9) Get a massage
10) Go camping
12) Run a new half marathon
13) Express gratitude more often and write it down
14) Send more snail mail
15) Explore St. Louis
16) Try 5 new restaurants
17) Go to a Cardinals game
18) Visit the Missouri Botanical Garden
19) Blog more…I have been seriously lacking in this area!
21) Take a trip to visit someone I know
22) Go fishing
23) Get a facial
24) Finish our wedding scrapbook
25) Complete a new 30 day challenge each month February-September (fitness, photography, whatever!)
26) Get a hair cut
27) Learn to make chicken enchiladas and 4 other new recipes
28) Complete a random act of kindness
29) Build a piece of furniture (with Trent’s assistance)
I have a lot to accomplish in the next eight months! I am working on making a dent towards running 500 miles and reading 15 books. Of course there will be blog updates along the way to knock out #19. Hoping this list keeps me motivated and excited about the big 3-0. This will be an interesting year with the big move, but it did add a few opportunities to the list.
In the meantime, I am going to snuggle up on this snowy night with a cup of hot chocolate and watch a movie. Snow days are the best…even when you are a grown up!
Until next time…
