30 Things Before I am 30

I mentioned in my last post that I was working on a list of things I want to do before I turn 30. It was hard to narrow it down and decide which things I really wanted to do, but I was finally able to after a lot of thought. I finally finished it, and as promised here it is:

30 things to do before I am 30

1. Have a home birth, free from drugs or interventions.
2. Finish E’s first year scrapbook, and start on the new baby’s.
3. Do the "Walk to Remember" in honour of the baby we lost.
4. Eat more fruits and vegetables, and less sugary stuff. (This is a work in progress, but it's slowly happening!)
5. Volunteer my time once a month.
6. Call both my mom and my dad at least once a week, just to say hi.
7. Sew a blanket for the new baby.
8. Paint the bottom half of the walls in E’s bedroom.
9. Go see Rocky Horror Picture Show at the theater.
10. Go for Sunday walks with the family (unless it’s colder than -20)
11. Change out some of the photos in our photo frames to newer ones.
12. Read a book a month, or more.
13. Take 5 minutes every day just being grateful. (Re-start my gratuity journal).

24. Phone my out-of-town friends at least once a month, if not more.
25. Spend less time on the computer/internet.

27. Take E fishing.
28. Learn to knit.
29. Surprise a friend once a month.

      So there you have it. My non-resolutions for the rest of my twenties. As of today, I have just over 16 months to complete everything. I can already feel the sense of accomplishment and joy that they will bring!

*  Edit: As I complete things from this list, I will cross them off! Some I won't be able to cross off until the end, but I will give updates on how I am doing with them.
