30 Before I'm 30

 

I will be 30 years old in 2 and 1/2 years....and there are some things that I would like to do before I reach that milestone. I can do these things after I turn 30, but it's just good to give yourself a deadline sometimes! So in no particular order, here are some things I would like to do before September 26, 2014.

Buy a house. 

Pay off all debt. 

Start a family.

Visit Seattle.

Invest in a really good camera.  

Run a 10K. 

Help build a house with Habitat for Humanity.  

Visit Memphis. 

Take a cooking class. 

Start a garden. 

Take my husband on a picnic in the park.

Serve in a soup kitchen during the holidays.

Draft a novel.

Adopt a brother or sister for Lucy (aka our future miniature Schnauzer we will be naming Dan McGuinness but calling "McGee").

Throw a surprise party.

Learn to knit.

Share my testimony.

Spend time with the animals at the Humane Society.

Sharpen my French-speaking skills.

Play tennis with my sister. Doubles anyone? 

Teach Lucy a trick.

Surprise others with baked goods.

Offer to babysit for friends/family who need a parents night out.

Paint a canvas. (It doesn't have to be pretty!)

Host a family dinner and use the fancy china.

Buy a meal for the person behind me in the drive-thru.

Go camping in the woods.

Attend a Major League Baseball game. 

Enjoy a summer sunrise.

Learn a few chords on the guitar.

I hope I can look back at this list in a couple years and feel a sense of accomplishment.  If you see anything on the list that you want to do with me, let me know! Seriously! Lots of these things would be more fun with a friend!

Happy Tuesday,  ya'll! Bundle up, it got chilly out there all of a sudden!
