30 Before 30.

 

 

005

So tomorrow is my birthday and I finally finished making my 30 before 30 list. It was harder than I thought. Trying to come up with 30 things I wanted to do in the next year that were PRACTICAL and DOABLE. I mean sure there are a TON of things I would love to do but for various reasons (money, baby coming this summer) it's just not possible. But eventually I did it! The interesting thing is, without meaning to I ended up picking a LOT Of things that fit well with my new years goal.

2013 Goals:


To be more intentional...

*In relationships

*In finances

*At home

*In memory keeping.

Not everything fell into one of these four categories but a lot did. So without further ado....

30 Before 30


Personal:


1. Memorize 30 verses.


2. Read, finish, or get rid of all MY unread books.


3. Fill up my half-used journals/smashbooks.


4. Sew the Super Tote pattern by Noodlehead.


5. Do one Show.


6. Make 500 things.


7.  Cook a recipe a month off of my pinterest boards.


8. Visit Bush Garden's again.


9. Submit an article to be published in a magazine.


10. Plant SOMETHING.


11. Learn How to drive stick shift.


12. Try at least 6 tutorials off of my pinterest boards.


Relationships:


13. Invite our neighbors over for a cook out.


14. See one of my far away friends again. (Missy, Amber, Mary, Andrew, Laura, Colleen)


15. Go away with Josh for a night.


16. Send 30 snail mail letters.


17. Go away with friends/sister for a weekend.


Finances:


18. Pay off 3 debts.


19. Save $1,000.


Home.


20. Establish some of my favorite childhood traditions in my family.


21. Purge 100 things from my house.


22. Plant SOMETHING.


Memory Keeping/Blogging:


23. Attend a class/seminar/conference to improve my blogging.


24. So SOMETHING with all my photos.


25. Learn how to really use my camera.


26. Post a tutorial on my blog.


27. Write/Finish a list of 1,000 gifts.


28. Spend a day taking a photo every hour.


28. Take the same photo once a month for a year.


29. Take a photo a day.


30. Blog every day for a month.


I am great at  making lists but not very good at sticking to them, so we shall see how it goes. I've actually already broken a lot of the goals down into smaller ones, like how many verses I need to memories each month and how many cards I need to write so that I don't get to next April and realize I'm really behind. As always with me one lists leads to another so I am already making a decent dent on number 3 as I make list after list.


What would be on your list for the next year of your life?

    This is so exciting. I made these two lists on New Years day and I hung them in my bedroom by the door as a daily reminder! Like you, I made sure my goals were budget and time friendly. Even so, my birthday is coming up pretty soon, so I'm a little nervous I won't finish everything in time!
