Head over to the main page of my blog to find out what the list looks like!

I'm four days away from my birthday and not nearly far enough along on this list. Yikes. Probably because whenever I think of my birthday I think about how I'm not at all where I thought I'd be by now. This line of thought might be accompanied by tears. I will not confirm or deny this happening, there might have been crying when listening to this Sugarland song last week. And again the next night when recounting the tale. Yikes. Can we say emotional a bit!?! Anyway, I'm going to keep plugging away at this list and Thursday I'll share the completed list!

With just under a month left before the commencement of my 30 Before 30 list, I've come up with a couple of more things to do.
6. Get certified to carry a concealed handgun.
7. Learn how to pick a lock and break into somewhere. (It'll probably be a friend's house as I don't want to go to jail, but break in I will!)
8. Crash a stranger's wedding. (I'm not sure where this idea came from, but I've already secured a partner in crime!)
9. Go to the airport and just fly somewhere.

So the plan is this. I will commence/complete any and all items off my list between now and my 30th birthday...which is next year-June 14,2013. However, I will commit to having the list completed (30 items listed) by my 29th birthday which is in just under 2 months from now. SO. Throw me ideas, suggestions, bets, dares. Help me brainstorm because in 2 months I'm going on a journey and I'd love all the input I can get!

Life has drastically changed in the last month. I'm still thinking and considering what to put on this list, but other things in life have taken precedence lately. But I'll get back to it and update. And make it more of a priority. I promise!

Within the next...um...couple of years I'll be turning 30. Up to this point I feel my life has been somewhat uneventful and safe. I don't want to be safe. I want to be somewhat reckless and adventurous. I want to push myself to the brink of what I think I can do and then go further. So I'm compiling a list of 30 things I want to accomplish before that 30th birthday comes around. (Okay, it's coming in 2013).
But this isn't just any list. Oh no. This is a list of things I will have to work for, things that scare me, but I push through anyway. Hopefully, this will require training, practice, sacrifice, and dedication. When I turn 30 and look back I want to see a different woman from the woman who types this tonight. I want to have grown physically (as in muscle, strength, and ability, not fat!), emotionally, relationally, and spiritually. I want to have been intentional and reached some serious milestones in my life.
I'm not exactly sure what this will look like at all. When will I update? When does the compilation of the list have to be done? How long before my 30th do I start? I don't know all the answers yet, but I'm going to enjoy figuring them out.
So this is what's on my list so far...
Run a half marathon.(Completed April 2012)- Be conversational in Spanish. (After growing up in TX and having taken tons of Spanish classes from 6th through college, I'm still not fluent. That. Will. Change.)
- Own a pair of bona fide natural pearls. (I love mine, but they're cultured not natural.)
- Read the entire Bible. (I've done this once in high school, but I admit it was a little suspect. I think I skimmed more than I actually read and understood. And I definitely don't remember enough to warrant claiming having done this.)
- Host a legit movie marathon of no less than a trilogy. And maybe convince my friends to make it a full fledged slumber party :)
