Thirty Before Thirty List Update

It's been over 4 months since I wrote my orginial 30 before 30 list.  I figure it's time to update my peeps with my progress (which isn't as much as I'd like).....So without further ado here's my orginial post with edits in red.


I am a list kind of girl. It's how I get anything done at school. I start every work day by making a new list of things to get done that day. Occasionally if I do something that's not on my list, I go back and write it in just to have the joy of marking it off. My daily list keeps me on track and busy. And at the end of the day I feel like I've really accomplished something.



I have less than three years before I hit the big THREE-OH. Yikes! I've seen on several blogs lists of thirty things to accomplish before that person turns thirty. Sounds right up my alley....here we go:


1. Decorate every room in my house--Living room and kitchen have a few things done in them.
2. Dye my hair--very soon

3. Become more disciplined in my devotional life--I can honestly mark this off.  I've always read my bible and prayed but things are different now.  I'm wake up in the mornings thinking about it.  And excited about what I'm reading.   Plus I'm venturing out into some studies...

4. Find and keep a family doctor

5. Learn to use my camera on manual--I've been practicing.  Took some pictures of my friend's family recently.  Just haven't mastered it yet!

6. Volunteer for some worthy organization

7. Stop drinking soft drinks--I'm a water girl now.

8. Lose 30 pounds--half way there...I will probably be changing this to more once I get to 30.

9. Get in the best shape of my life--are there really people who like exercise????
10. Organize my recipes in one place--not so much


11. Take an amazing Vacation--not yet.

15. Go Hunting with Michael

16. Take a road trip


17. Organize my hard drive

18. Order a custom painting for our house

20. Submit a picture to I heart faces

21. Clean out my car trunk--This was on my spring break list...but the great lung infestation/sinus blowout has slowed me down!

22. Make Little Girl Hair bows

23. Buy and Learn to use photo shop--I did get a new laptop....

24. Photograph a Waterfall--tried this when I was out of school for snow...Michael drove me to Frozen Head but the park was closed :(
