TURNING 30 In a month!

what to do while i am 30...

I turn 30 years old 1 month from today! I decided I needed to make a list of things to accomplish during the year that I am 30. This was inspired by my friend Brenley, who is 2 days and one year older then me. I remembered hers, reviewed it, and realized how many things I know she has accomplished. So I think it could be good for me. I may change a few things here and there up until my birthday.

1. scrapbook Noah's life for his baptism

2. add 300 dollars to the DISNEYLAND fund(currently at $810)

3. exercise at least 4 times a week

4. go to the Temple once a month (or 12 times)

5. read the Book of Mormon all the way through

6. go on a real vacation

7. take a photography class

8. eat less chocolate

9. read one book a month

10. visit Oregon and Colorado(I don't have to fly, wish I could put more here)

11. write John one love letter a month

12. learn the art of couponing

13. read a book to my kids everyday

14. start crafting again

15. make cookies from scratch once a month and take them to someone

16. buy a new lens for my camera

17. Become skilled at Photoshop

18. eat more fruits and vegetables

19. have FHE every Monday

20. have one date a month w/ John

21. learn to play 5 songs on the guitar

22. say five positive things to my kids a day

23. cook one new recipe a month

24. sew something

25. make all Christmas gifts and have them done by December 1st

26. do laundry only on one day of the week

27. take my two youngest to the Library for story time at least once a month

Wow that's quite a list, I need to work on a lot of it myself. Thanks for the reminders.
When are you guys planning on going to Disneyland? It would be so much fun if we could go to this time.

Great idea & I'm sure you will accomplish a lot of them. I'm looking forward to my Disney/San Diego Trip in April, hope you guys get to go soon too. Make sure to let me know when you visit Oregon so I can see you too.

That is a great list! Maybe I'll make my own list, but for when I'm 35 in October! Yikes! Let us know when you come to Oregon!

Number 26 is NEVER going to happen unless you a) move to an island and let your kids run around naked all day, b) buy three washers and dryers and hire a babysitter for six hours 1 day a week or c) go to a laundromat. I do at least two loads a day every day.
