30 before 30

Now that I am in my mid twenties..........................LOL I don't even know what to say after that because it's like dang, already? The thought of thirty is scary to me. But twenties have seriously been so good to me. I've been able to travel a bunch, see a lot of new things and have made a lot of great memories....like I will never forget the time I caught a bus from Boston to New York, met up with a friend and drove all the way to West Virginia with only 30.00 in my pocket and a backpack full of clothes all by myself...made it back to school in time the following Monday for volleyball practice. Sure I was completely broke by the time I got back but that has never mattered to me. Or the time I went to Mexico for spring break---or when I rode in a hot air balloon. Adventure and making memories and creating unforgettable experiences for myself has always been my thaaaang. Now that I have kids I can't exactly get up and go like I used to....but that hasn't stopped my adventure seeking ways. So, as sort of a celebration of my twenties (which ends in 4 years) I have created a 30 before 30 list. It's simple. 30 things I want to do by the time I'm 30. Things that I've always wanted to do, that put me outside my comfort zone, and things that will make good stories later on :) 

In no particular order...

1. Visit another country (except Mexico, been there done that)

2. Volunteer at a woman's shelter

3. See a glacier

4. Go on a cruise

5. See a Broadway

6. Play Texas Hold'em at a casino (I'm surprisingly pretty good at poker, but a poker table has always been so intimidating to me lol)

7. Kayak or canoe through caves

8. Write a children's book

9. See Too Short, Justin Timberlake, or Chris Brown in concert.

10. Learn to sew
