R and I both celebrated big birthdays this month. I posted our 30 before 30 list back in September and I wanted to post our progress. We didn't get it all done, perhaps it was a bit ambitious going into the holiday months to think we could accomplish it all but any leftover items we are hoping to cross off this year.
Attend a concert.(Eli Young Band - October 2013)Refinish an old piece of furniture.(Our deacon bench, photos coming soon)- Purchase something special from a flea market.
Take a long weekend away together. (Nags Head getaway, March 2014)- Go on a couples bike ride together.
Plan and host a party. (A Dirty Thirty, April 2014 and a Jingle Mingle, December 2013)Cook a holiday meal. (Christmas Eve 2013)- Build a piece of furniture.
Attend a blogger meet-up.(November 2013)- Enjoy a spa day.
Run a 5k.*(Autism Run, October 12)- Get a new tattoo*
- Visit a new winery.
- Watch a meteor shower. (attempted but it was pouring rain)
- Attend a professional sporting event.
- Finish a scrapbook.
- Pick a charity for a regular donation.
See an off Broadway play. (Book of Mormon, February 2014)- Brew a new beer.
Add new vegan and vegetarian meals to our collection.(At least 2 new recipes each month)- Play the lottery.
Learn how to make our own “green” cleaning products.(laundry detergent, but we hope to make more)- Go fishing with hubs.
Make my own curtains. (Technically I didn't make them, my SIL did. But I was present.)- Decorate a cake.
- Organize our closets. (Almost completed - except the two upstairs)
- Stick to a budget. (eh, working on it)
Watch a full Harry Potter marathon in a weekend. (December 2013)- Try a new cocktail each week. (I get too hung up on the same 2 or 3 options...and my wine)
Establish our own holiday traditions.(I think we nailed this one)
Items marked with a * are specific to my hubs.
Less than half, but I'm not upset about it. It gives us good direction for 2014 and we already have a plan to finish off the bulk of these. This was a fun activity that hubs and I both enjoyed. We might make a list of goals each year...maybe 10 instead of 30. If you like lists then I'd definitely recommend putting something like this together with a plan to complete it.
