Thirty by thirty

Hello and welcome to my blog! For my first post, I am going to tell you guys about the thing that started this whole bloggy idea.

My 28th birthday is coming up in a little over two months, and I have really been thinking about how close I am to 30. Some people would say that I am pre-mid-life crisis, but I don't think I am. There are just some things that I have wanted to do before the big 3-0. I know that I am not the only one who has had this idea, and when I came across a thirty before thirty post on a blog I follow, I knew I had to made a list. This is not a bucket list... it is a list of things that I would like to complete by the time I am 30.

To view the post I am talking about, read here: 30 before 30.

*Disclaimer: In making this list, I realized that I should have started it long before I turned 28, so almost 10 of them have already been completed*

My list (the ones I have completed are in Purple with a date after):

1) Experience love at first sight. (completed September 2010 when my son was born)

2) Marry someone that I am deeply in love with. (completed September 2009)

3) Swim in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Caribbean Oceans.

4) Take a cruise.

5) Finish a novel (publishing not required).

6) Go to New Orleans. (completed March 2012)

7) Find a happy weight.

8) Find a job that pays well, and that I love.

9) Have a baby! (completed September 29... His name is Gavin Michael)

10) Read and finish book. (completed 2013.. Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy... what can I say)

11) Go to a Chicago Cubs game, Chicago Bears, and a Chicago Blackhawks game.

12) Meet a moose at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium in Columbus, OH.

13) Play with a Penguin in Gatlinburg, TN.

14) Go to Las Vegas and see at least one show. (completed September 2009)

15) Get another tattoo.

16) Go to Niagara Falls.

17) Take a trip to Washington DC, and visit all of the monuments and museums.

18) Obtain a passport and take a trip to Canada.

19) Go apple picking in Michigan.

20) To have a blog following of 50 within the first 6 months.
