30 by 30 :: the list

Welp! Another year gone.
Yes, today is my birthday. 
My 29th birthday to be exact.

It's so crazy to think that in 1 year (or 12 months or 52 weeks or 365 days) I'll be officially in my 30s. 
So, in celebration of (or preparation for) October 9, 2013,
I have decided to compile my own version of the ever popular 30 by 30 list.
If you have been living under a rock and have no clue what a 30 by 30 list is, let me enlighten you.
It's super simple really, it's a bucket list of sorts, containing 30 things I want to do by the time I turn 30.
These 30 things can be as easy or difficult as the individual wants, but they need to be doable.

  1. My thoughts on your list:

    5. I'm (finally) at 40% in my personal Brothers Karamzov (Les Miserables), and it feels like a miracle. ha.
    7. I want to do this, actually. I was thinking about it last week.
    13. That's so cool. DeAnna and co and I were going to start this "random acts of kindness" group, but it never went anywhere, and this would have been something we'd have done.
    15. I'm planning on a marathon by the end of the year. ;) COME OVER! <3
    18. I'll be writing if you want some accountability. It's 1666 words a day. ;)
    24. Consider this my offer to babysit sometimes.

    This is a great list. I'm super excited to watch you check stuff off the list. :)

  2. Thanks! I'm actually super excited about this list! I was trying to make sure that I didn't get too overly ambitious in my goals. :)
