30 Before 30

I will turn 30 on Friday, August 30, 2013.

My goal is to complete this list within the next 3 years and 8 months. My 30 Before 30 list is a mix of challenges, some might only take an hour or so while others months of training. It’s a list of things I’ve been wanting to do for awhile and just haven’t gotten around to it.

This is my getting around to it…chronicling it as I go.

30 Before 30

1. Finish a novel

2. Make my own healthy recipes (for the sweet tooth)

3. Finish a screenplay

4. Visit New York City

5. Dye my hair

6. Relearn Spanish

7. Run a half-marathon

8. NAMC Preschool/Kindergarten diploma

9. Grow a vegetable garden (we did it…but it kinda failed in the end)

10. Learn to ride a horse

11. Make my own pasta and pasta sauce

12. Complete Marine Corps Mud Run
    

13. Have another baby

14. Pull an all-nighter

15. Learn to dance

16. See Josh Groban in concert

17. Complete a mini-triathlon

18. Write everyday for 30 days

19. Watch AFI’s Top 100 movies

20. Plan the Perfect Wardrobe (seasonal & coordinated)…coupled with finding my signature style (right now, I think it’s a bit American Classic & a whole lot of boring…)
    

21. Get to my ideal weight, which-supposedly-is anywhere between 114 – 145lb. I’m about 15lb. from that.
    

22. Read the Bible chronologically

23. Have an organized and simplified home

24. Live stress-free…or at least have come a long way

25. On my way to becoming an expert in something….(it only takes 10,000 hours or 10 years)

26. Write a will

27. Go to the biggest yard sale in the US

28. Get to Europe…can we say Jane Austen?

29. Be confident in myself.

30.  

What’s on your list? And, do you have any suggestions for my 30th item?
