A while back, I put up a list of 30 things to do before I turn 30.

I updated it after running my half marathon but with less than 6 months to go before I turn 30, I wanted to see where I was at


1.)Be content in what I have instead of always wanting more (I don't think this one will ever be crossed off completely. It will always be a work in progress)

2.) Learn to fight fair.

3.) Create and stick to a budget (Still working on sticking to that budget!!!)

4.)Pay off at least one credit card completely (soooo close! It still feels great to know my student loans are payed off!)

5.) Work on reconnecting with the people in my life (Working on this one as well!!! I have had some really great conversations with some really great friends lately!)

6.) Stick to couponing and meal planning *(this one is still a work in progress but I am getting better!)

7.) Eat healthier I have been eating so many more fruits and veggies and drinking almost nothing but water!

8.) Try at least 1 brand new food a month *(So far I have tried Edamame, Yellow Tomatoes, and GU Chomps. (Ok so the last one is a stretch, but it was still new and they are really gross)

9.) Live life to the fullest (Never going to cross this off because there is always something more!!!)

10.) Remember that I am not old and stop spending my weekends vegged out in front
of the TV! *(My weekends have been SO Crazy! I have not had one free weekend since I made the list!

11.) Run a half marathon

12.) Join a book club (Anyone interested???)

13.)Get a tattoo (this one probably isn't going to happen anytime soon!)

14.) Learn to fish (Little cold right now to be out fishing :-p)

15.) Stop sweating the small stuff (Always going to have to work on this!)

16.)Take the train to Hermann *(this one has been changed, only because our Oktoberfest plans were cancelled, not by us!)

17.)Go to a spa for the first time

18.)Use only reusable bags at the store (or at least recycle to plastic ones if
I forget)

19.) Read at least 30 new books with 10 of them being off my list of books to read
before I die (I am about halfway there!)

20.)Spend the night in a haunted house or go on a ghost tour

21.) Buy a bike and actually use it

22.) Mail out Christmas cards

23.) plan a trip to somewhere that will require a passport (the trip doesn't have
to been taken before my bday but at least planned)

24.)Exercise 6 days a week (Umm, that is so not happening!)

25.)Show Travis a Michigan winter (Not sure about this one! We are going to Kentucky in February and that is going to eat up all of my vacation time!)\

26.)Learn to crochet (I still can't get the hang of it!)

27.) Get caught up on my scrapbooks (slowly working on it)

28.)Learn to sew for real (um, anyone want to teach me?)

29.) Have money in a savings account *(started an online account where $ is deposited every week!)

30.) Have dinner with friends at least once a month!
