30.before.30 |

***UPDATE*** Well considering I have entered my Thirties…I will be moving all undone to my 40′s Bucket List and perhaps adding a few more.

So this is my last year in my 20′s… something that is typically thought to be a breakdown moment. A moment where you realize how old you are getting and the fact that you have not accomplished the things you wanted to before this day comes. It is a ‘woes me’ moment for many.

…For me I assumed I would see this day coming and take that route. If you had asked me a couple of years ago how I felt about turning 30 I probably would have told you everything I did not have time to do before this number hit me. All the negatives would have been expressed with fervent emotion.

… But as of late, this is not the case at all! 30 is a number I welcome with open arms!! I am absolutely 100% excited to enter my flirty years I will take this wonderful number and embrace it and use it to my advantage.

BUT….

before I do so…

….a few things (more like 30) I would like to complete before I entertain the beginning of my ::fabulously flirty 30s::

So without further a due, in no particular order, here is my 30.before.30 {my 30 yr old Bucket List if you will}

1. ~~Drive through a tunnel at a normal rate of speed~~ {preferably 60mph..this is a HUGE one for me!} UPDATE: It has been accomplished!! Though I cant say it will stick. Someone once told me in order to get over this fear I needed to just go back and forth through the tunnel until I found myself comfortable and able to drive normally through it without losing all feeling in my hands from the death grip I have on the wheel. Well this is how I did it!

2. Sky Dive …..and live to tell about it {or at the very least not pee myself in decent}

3. Mission Trip ..Nicaragua slated for Fall 2012{not sure where but I believe every person should get involved with at least one to stay grounded and aware of what is around them} *UPDATE* This will be completed on my Birthday Week before I turn 31♥ November 4th-11th I will travel to Nicaragua with ORPHANetwork & MidWEEK to help in Casa Bernabe. This will be the BEST birthday possibly ever.

4. Learn to make Coffee {…that is drinkable by more than just the plant in the reception area of my office…which by the way has disappeared?!}

5. ~~Take Autumn camping~~ {I grew up driving across the country with my family and roadtripping and camping in the Kings Canyons. I want her to experience some of these memories I have that I love so much!}UPDATE: As of July 9, 2011 Miss ABM has experienced her very first camping trip and with great success she LOVED it!!

6. Make childrens art canvases {Something I have always been interested in and never take the time to do…this will happen this year.}

7. Make an important career decision.

8. Touch an iceberg {this is a far fetched dream but something I would love to do none the less….may have to extend this to my 40s list}

9. ROADTRIP!!!! – destination: unknown! {Just get in the car spur of the moment one weekend and drive deciding my path as I go. Who’s in?}

10. Milk a cow.

11. Get a tattoo {that has meaning of course!}

12. ~~Walk a runway~~ {something that scares me but I am currently in process of conquering this! Will let you know the final results…i.e. whether I gracefully introduced myself to the runway floor or not.} UPDATE: April marks my first Runway for CHKD

13. Get a PUFFY.

14. Tackle my Series 7 license

15. Write a book {published or not just to know I am capable in doing so will be remarkable..I get bored and sidetracked easily}

16. Construct and hold a fundraiser

17. Get ABM on a surfboard {in the water}

18. Visit my Grammy & Popop {Its been since 2007 and they aren’t doing very well these days }

19. Take Yoga {if you know me then you know this is a big one….how akward I will look trying to complete this one!}

20. Build a business plan for my Bagel Shop {Which I plan to open before I am 40!}

21. ~~Learn to play the guitar~~ {cliche, I know} *UPDATE* Currently teaching myself and ABM is taking lessons♥

22. Go one week with out coffee {Ahhhhhhhhhhh! I am not sure this is possible!!! BUT I can try it!}

23. ~~Eat Kangaroo~~. {cruel sounding I know…but a friend swears it is the best ever, so I must try it. Although finding it may require a trip to Australia..or the local Zoo.} UPDATE: I had Kangaroo just last night!!! How random and perfect!!

24. Meet Jared Allen {I suppose I can road trip to Minneapolis and pop into Blarney Pub & Grill in the off season}

25. Master a Muscle Up!

~~26. While we are at it, to go along with #25… Double Unders~~! UPDATE: Completed!!! {they are the Devil! I have zero coordination (no suprise there) and always sucked at jumping rope as a kid, yet I could double dutch anyone under the table…who knew this would be a skill I needed as an adult!}

27. See something that completely takes my breath away.

28. Aquire Stlye 9552 {just to have}

29. Take ABM to Disney World!!

30. Organize my Office {haha this might hit my 40s list as well!}

……I had “Enter an Online Bikini Contest” on the 30:30 list but apparently I have already been entered in one ( http://www.96x.fm/bikini ) {ps. who ever did this …BRAVO! By far the best little joke ever played on me…. Soccer Mom Vs. VBs finest bar girls (Fabulous!).} Good news is I seemed to have won the first bracket…bad new is I am losing by a land slide in the current one. Guess my “Online Bikini Contest” future is a no go.

So……

This is my 30 before 30 list that I will try to accomplish in full before November 12. 2011. I will keep updating as I complete them and hopefully have a picture or something to share with it

Here are a few gems from my past…random thing is I could not find any from my akward teen years?! huh. Enjoy
