34 Before 34 List

So this week I was invited to a "Favorite Things" party with some old college friends. I had never heard of a Favorite Things party before so as the host was describing where she came up with the idea she talked about the fact that it was on her "30 things to do before I turn 30" list. Later in the evening she shared the rest of the list with us. I was inspired!

I recently celebrated my 33rd birthday. I'm a list maker and a goal-oriented gal myself so I thought, maybe she's on to something here, so I started brainstorming.

Here's what I came up with... in no particular order:

1. Run my second half marathon
2. Watch It's a Wonderful Life
3. Write my will
4. Make a big change
5. Get in a blog network
6. Try a linking party
7. Attend a conference
8. Sew a maxi skirt
9. Make a piece of jewelry
10. Lose 34 pounds
11. Finish the baby books
12. Make myself an apron
13. Update the family photos around the house
14. Develop a collection of greeting cards for birthdays, anniversaries and just because. Send them.
15. Take Curly Girl to a show and make it a special date night
16. Make a cheesecake from scratch
17. Start the girls' savings accounts
18. Buy something from Zulilly
19. Finish a 30 day fitness challenge
20. Reorganize our perennial garden
21. Become a person who makes my bed every day {ok, most days}
22. Do a 3 day juice fast
23. Have a weekend get-a-way with Carl
24. Read something awesome
25. Taking a relaxing vacation (...like without an itinerary)
26. Explore Bemidji, Minnesota
27. Write a really personal blog post about something that matters
28. Go to West Fargo's Bonanzaville

30. Start wearing jackets
31. Tube the Ottertail River
32. Golf 18 holes and enjoy it
33. Bike the Wilderness Trail at Itasca
