30 before 30
Today I celebrate 29 years of life and I’ve enjoyed all 29. It’s crazy to think that I’m going to be 30. 30 used to sound old to me and yet I don’t feel so old. However, I’ve been quite obsessed about it and decided that as I live out my last year of my twenties I’d set a list of goals… 30 goals to accomplish before I turn 30 years old. I’ve made multiple lists and have consolidated down to the 30 most important ones. Here it is (in no particular order):
1. Finsh book project with Megan Ruth
2. go scuba diving again
3. go to Hawaii with Jeremy
4. get a job
5. pay off 1/2 my student loan balance
6. turn our blog archives into a book
7. start “Hike of the Month” club
8. read all 4 standard works
9. get my Young Womanhood Recognition Award for leaders
10. go the the temple 2x a month
11. complete a rollerblading marathon
12. complete a Sprint Triathlon
13. exercise 5 times a week
14. try a new recipe every week
15. make a family recipe book
16. get 4 stamps in my National Park Passport
17. do my Visiting Teaching each month
18. clean my care each month
19 roll over my 403 B’s into one account
20. learn photoshop elements
21. learn html so I can edit our blog
22. grow another garden
23. start an Environmental Education/Nature blog
24. read a book each month
25. sew something each month
26. take a cooking class
27. take a cake decorating class
28. see orca whales
29. get a passport
30. buy a bike
I know the list is sort of random… but they are all things that I’ve thought about for a long time. If anyone wants to join me on any of the adventures that lie ahead (like participating in the Hike of the Month club, or taking a class with me) just let me know, the more the merrier!
Here’s to a great year of life… full of fun, adventure, growth and love!
