30 by 30

I turned 24 today. I’m officially in my mid twenties now. Weird. I have so much I want to accomplish in my life and I figure it’s about time I write it down as a list of goals. Putting them out in public will help hold me accountable, plus I have a real tangible reminder to look back on so I can see how far I’ve come. I figure 30 is a good round number and a good age. So here is my list (in no particular order) of 30 things I want to accomplish by my 30th birthday:

1. travel to India
2. become a mother
3. speak another language fluently
4. read all books on Time 100 best novels list
5. run a marathon
6. sky dive
7. go skiing
8. celebrate 10^th wedding anniversary (This will be April of the year I turn 30)
9. visit every US state
10. see all movies on Time 100 best movies list
11. have a habit of exercising daily (at least 30 minutes)
12. knit or crochet an item of clothing
13. make a quilt
14. earn an award with Phoebe
15. take a painting class
16. join a book club
17. take a photography class
18. have a recipe box of at least 100 things I like to cook
19. eat some type of local delicacy (ie. insect)
20. memorize Deuteronomy
21. complete a scrapbook
22. do the splits
23. dye my hair something other than it’s natural color
24. go scuba diving
25. visit the grand canyon
26. keep a blog or journal daily for one year
27. drive across the country on route 66
28. milk a cow
29. ride a horse on a beach
30. one mile on a hippity hop

I’ll be updating as I make progress. Wish me luck!
