30 Before 30

I'm sure we've all made unrealistic resolutions that we hope to accomplish in a short period of time. The problem arises not in making the resolutions-it's wonderful to set goals-but in trying to accomplish this in an unrealistically short amount of time. Well, after David and I completed our Reverse Engineering I got to thinking about some long-term goals I have. Some for our marriage and family, others for my career, some for my faith, and so on and so forth. Then, I started jotting them down and this list was born. This is a list of 30 things I hope to accomplish before I am 30.

1. Add to our family
2. Go on a trip somewhere I've never been
3. Go on a hike with David
4. Run an entire 5k
5. Read The Scarlet Letter
6. Read the Bible all the way through
7. Tour a brewery
8. Go to a farmer's market and make a meal from only the food I buy there
9. Buy a new car
10. Attend a local festival
11. Go on a mission trip
12. Do a big project on the house with David
13. Paint a room in our house
14. Get pictures taken of us now that we're married
15. Bake a cake from scratch
16. Watch an entire show on Netflix from start to finish
17. Try one new recipe a week for a year 
18. Go to a winery
19. Host a backyard cookout
20. Pay it forward
21. Complete one Pinterest craft for every season 
22. Pursue higher education
23. Host a dinner party
24. Attend a beer festival
25. Post every day for a month
26. Write a letter a week for one year
27. Attend a professional sporting event
28. Watch the sunrise and the sunset in the same day
29. Keep my nails painted for an entire month without picking off the polish.
30. Host a giveaway on this blog

My hope is that by posting it on this blog I won't be tempted to let these things fall by the wayside and become lost in the hustle and bustle of life. I'll keep y'all posted as I go!
