30 before 30

I was watching an episode of Brothers&Sisters earlier (which was a good series that I just watched entirely on Netflix thanks to a recommendation by Dehli, but I digress) and one of the siblings was turning 30 and had written a list of things when he was a kid that he wanted to do before that ripe old age... And since I am winding up my thirties in a few short years*tear* I thought it would be cool to compile a list of things I'd like to do before my best years are behind me.  

So here goes.... (In no particular order)

1. Go on a cruise
2. Change the oil on a car
3. Shoot a gun... (be afraid)
4. Get to my goal weight (Thank you baby weight for sticking around and wearing out your welcome!)
5.  Have an eighties dance party (because that just seems like something somebody in my generation needs to do at least once in their life!)
6. Go on a road trip with no destination in mind
7. Build something ...out of wood... with my own hands... using power tools and such
8. Learn to drive a stick (again be afraid)
9. Go back to school
10. Move somewhere new
11. Be apart of a flash mob
12. Make homemade croissants 
13. Take ballroom dancing lessons
14. Keep my house "Rose clean" for a week, while the kids ARE home (If you don't understand this then you've never been to my mom's house. Shes a magician for sure)
15. Go somewhere outside of the U.S that I've never been
16. Run a marathon
17. Teach my kids to ride a bike
18. Learn to play the piano
19. Cook a homemade meal for dinner every night of one whole week (and if you know me then you know this would be much be a miracle)
20. Find my soul mate (Ok this might be a bit much before the big 3-0 but you never know. You have not because you ask not, right?! ;))
21. Make an apple pie 
22. Finally read the Bible all the way through
23. Win three people to God
24. Go to Disney World
25. Take my kids to go swim in an ocean
26. Create a nest egg
27. Work on being a better sister, friend, daughter, mother...person
28. Watch a full presidential debate (zzzzzZZZZzzzZZzzz)
29. Memorize the order of the books of the Bible and more scripture
30. Go to a Steelers and/or a Lakers game

And there you have it, my 30 before 30 list... I better get going because the BIG day will be here before I know it... As I mark things off the list I will write about it to keep you updated. I'm excited to see how many of these I'll be able to complete, I hope my sisters are up to some of these challenges because I wont be able to do it alone :)
