Well Friends, in short, I have big dreams. There are many things in life that I would like to experience so that I can live life to the fullest, but I am the average person where if I say that I want to do it, I don’t necessarily get around to it. By creating this list, it has set yet another goal in life that I am determined to do. Enter my 30/30 List. Also known as 30 Things To Do Before I am 30. I have five years to complete the list and am feeling optimistic at this point in time. I have been making this list for 2 months now and am excited to do each and every single one of them. Help me live life to the fullest!

So, Behold: Em’s List of 30 Things to Do Before I am 30 (In no particular order):

Ø  Run a half marathon.

o   This is already a work in progress, but I am Determined to complete this in June. The nerves are starting to set in!

Ø  Shoot an antelope.

o   For all of my tree hugging readers, let’s just say that I want to PET an antelope up close. Really Close.

Ø  Go to New York.

o   This can be interchangeable with taking a cruise or, going to Las Vegas, or a trip of any kind really. Any of these will work. All will cost a lot of money.

Ø  Have a kid.

o   I know that there is a lot of work with this goal, so I don’t mean to be so nonchalant about creating a new life, but we would like to have a child somewhat soon. Simple as that. J

Ø  Go to a concert.

o   Cory has informed me that seeing a no name singing in the basement of our college where there was 2 people watching with us does Not count as a concert. So yes, I really have never been to an actual concert.

Ø  Write a book. Send it to a Publisher. Frame the Rejection Letter.

o   I have the title all set to go. Now to write the other 200 pages that goes after the title…..

Ø  Visit my sister (wherever she is).

o   Currently, this includes visiting Denver, CO but I do believe that the Peace Corps are sending her somewhere overseas. Crazy Lady!

Ø  Go Skydiving.

o   Bombs Away!

Ø  See the Northern Lights in all their grandeur.

Ø  Sleep under the stars.

o   So I have to admit that I have done this already, but I was very young and didn’t appreciate the raw beauty of this. I think it is about time that I do this again. Even better, including this with #9!

Ø  Get more than 50 readers.

o   This seems like a very very big goal to me, but I sure am hoping that people will start to be thankful for the little things in life.

Ø  Get another tattoo (or two).                                        

Ø  Take up photography as a hobby once again. And stick to it this time.

o   Hopefully I will also learn how to upload photos on my blog so I can take a picture for every number completed and give all of you proof!

Ø  Stay up all night because I don’t want the night to end and enjoy the sunrise the next day with a cup of coffee in my hand.

Ø  Make a Kite and Fly it.

o   I will be able to really spread my wings and fly!

Ø  Learn how to make my own Sushi (and make it so it tastes delicious).

Ø  Take a Yoga Class.

Ø  Host a Holiday at my House.

Ø  Watch Every James Bond Film.

o   Back to back. Let’s start with Dr. No and end with Casino Royale.

Ø  Order a Martini, Shaken not Stirred while out to eat.

Ø  Visit a Winery or Brewery (or Both).

Ø  Go to a drive-in theater.

o   Borrow a convertible to really get the full experience

Ø  Enjoy a really expensive meal and not care how much it costs.

o   This includes ordering an expensive bottle of wine, appetizers, meal, and dessert.

Ø  Go to the Renaissance Festival….Dressed Up.

Ø  Grow a Garden.

Ø  Roast Marshmallows in the fireplace while watching a romantic movie and having a glass of wine.

o   This obviously has to be done picnic style on the living room floor in the house. A fort may be included in the package.

Ø  Ride in a yellow taxi and yell “Quick, Follow that Car,” while in the taxi cab.

Ø  Go without watching T.V. for a full month.

o   Hmm. I think I regret this one already. No backsies I am presuming.

Ø  Get my fortune told.

o   Of course it’s all nonsense and I don’t believe it. Well, except for the bits I like.

Ø  Do all of these things with at least one other person that is dear to me so I can share the joy and document each moment of this great list.



I know that some of these are easy while some will be harder, but they are all things that I have wanted to do in life and all will be extraordinary! If one looks good to you and you would like to join me, by all means come with and we can experience this together (Calling Dibs will be Accepted). Let’s have a great time, Enjoy every moment, and Be Happy (while being Awesome)!
