30 before 30

Certain moments in life are milestones that mean different things to different people. I sit here and realize I am 25 months away from my 30th birthday and there are so many things in life I still want to do! I know I have time but I have decided to create a 30 before 30 list. These are different from my bucket list. Bucket list has some pretty expensive travel wants and big ticket life items. This is a more reasonable list for the next few years. Some of the things on the list may seem silly or odd but they are random things that I have seen someone else do and thought, "I can do that". So here is my list.


  1. Raise a service dog- Rowena has graduated and Maggie will go in for her harness training in the summer *sniff sniff*
  2. Sub 30 mintute 5k
  3. Invest money and start saving for the future- Done
  4. Sew an outfit for myself
  5. Go on a road trip
  6. Run a 5k, 10k, 15k, and half marathon- DONE!
  7. Cook an entire Thanksgiving meal- Did this in 2011 for my family and Jeff's parents!
  8. Be able to do 10 real full pushups- military style
  9. See sunrise and sunset in the same day
  10. Goal weight: 13lbs to go
  11. learn how to box
  12. Complete the Spartan Challenge in under 1:15
  13. Find a job I love- DONE!
  14. Skydive
  15. Have a picnic on the beach at sunset
  16. Get a promotion and not just a new job
  17. Have non wedding family photos taken
  18. Do a 1 week juice cleanse
  19. Paint a piece of old furniture
  20. Start a family
  21. Take an international vacation with Jeff just cause- I guess this is done since we've been to Africa and Costa Rica together but I want 1 more before I'm 30
  22. Ride the entire Pinellas Trail
  23. Ride a motorcycle
  24. Win an award for something I did
  25. Make a pie totally from scratch
  26. Have a recipe that everyone asks for
  27. Grow my own herbs
  28. Be a leader for an organization
  29. Visit half the states in the USA 18/25 done
  30. Throw someone a surprise party

Do you have a list of 30 before 30, or 40 before 40? What would you add that I don't have on my list?

  3. KATIE!!! I didn't know you had a blog! Super cute, by the way. I love your list. My blog started because of my 30 before 30 list. I love the concept, and while I still have a long way to go, and need to be better about posting more often, it's exciting to see an old friend making progress on her list. I hope you accomplish all you've set out to do, good luck!

  5. I've made myself two dresses and numerous skirts. I started with snaps, then buttons, then finally zippers for closures. Don't be afraid of the zippers! (They are WAY easier than buttons/buttonholes) You can definitely make something great! - Lisa Haiss
