Lists.  I could go on and on about my love affair for them.  Making a 30 before 30 list was so much fun for me and as I quickly approach my 29th birthday this weekend, I figured I should revisit it and see what the next year brings.

Completed:
1.  See a show on Broadway.  It’s so funny that I made this list long before I ever knew that I would be moving to the east coast.  I’ve checked this one off multiple times and will continue to add to the list.
2.  See the sunrise on the Atlantic.
3.  Visit Disney World.
4.  Get 10,000 hits on the blog.  The original goal was 100,000 hits and then I thought that would be impossible.  Truth is, I think it will likely happen as long as you lovely people keep showing your pretty faces around here.  Crazy.
5.  Pretend to be a runner and participate in my first race.
6.  T-Shirt Quilt with old shirts.  This was done by my lovely friend, Annika, and we are forever grateful.
7.  Go kayaking.
8.  See Top Gun.
9.  Become a Vegetarian for 30 days… and this turned into WAY more than a month.
10.  Do a one month photo challenge.
11.  Spend a weekend with new friends.  I love these ladies.


12.  Shop in a store I cannot afford.  Thank you husband.
In Progress/Scheduled:
1.  Read the Bible.  I went to a Catholic school growing up, so I’ve been through the Bible before, but as an adult, I’m struggling with lots of questions and I felt compelled to dive back in and see what happens.  I’m about 1/4 of the way through currently and picking up the pace with only a year left.
2.  Raise $1000 for charity.  I’ve made it to $500 and I’m going to sign up for the MS climb in NYC next year and will be working to hit my final goal then.
3.  Complete our New York City bucket list.  Clearly, that page needs a little updating.  We are cruising on this list.  We have a few visitors in the next few weeks that will help us check off a few more items, plus I think I have a few more to add.
4.  Find the St. Paul Winter Carnival medallion… or work my ass off trying.
5.  See 5 more baseball stadiums.  I have marked off 3/5 with Miller Park, the Coliseum and Yankee Stadium.  This summer should include a game in Philadelphia and a trip to Citi Field to see the Mets.
The things I better get going on:
1.  See the sunset on the Pacific.  Technically, I’ve completed this, but Karl the Fog kind of ruined it for me, so I would really love to make it back to the west coast to do this again.
2.  Go camping with my husband.  We are currently looking at weekends to head up to the Catskills and pitch a tent.  I’m pretty excited about this.
3.  Step foot on a different continent.  We are in the beginning stages of planning an Iceland/Ireland trip for the fall, but until dates are locked in, I can’t count this as “in progress.”
4.  Eat Lobster in Maine.
5.  Visit 5 Microbreweries.  I’m adding vineyards too, because we love those just as much.  I had to remove new restaurants in St. Paul since we moved, so I added this as a substitute.  
6.  Go Leaf Peeping in Vermont.  
7.  Zip line.
8.  See the Northern Lights.  Hopefully this will happen when we are visiting Iceland, but it’s hard to plan on things like this.  Fingers crossed.
9.  Send a message in a bottle.  Still trying to figure out what to put in a bottle that would be fun to find.
10.  Give my parents an epic gift.
11.  Take a random class off of Groupon.
12.  Bring Justin to Canada – can you believe he’s never been there?
13.  30 Day Yoga Challenge.
Looking at the items I have left, I would say this will be a very busy year.  We have been saving money and preparing ourselves for some epic adventures, so hopefully it will all fall into place.  If you have any suggestions on any of the items we have left, please let me know.  
Also, as always, share your lists with me.  It doesn’t have to be a 30 before 30 list, just leave a link in the comments below. If you need me, I’ll be searching for microbreweries in the area to plan for this weekend.
