I have had this list written for quite a while, but figured now was the perfect time to post it and get started... 6 months before my 29th birthday and right in time for everyone's New Year's resolutions. So here it goes, some have been borrowed from others' lists, but many are things that I personally have always wanted to do and figured it was time to just got on it and do it :)
1. Harry Potter World at Universal Studios Orlando. This is hopefully going to be happening in October of this year with my Casey. :)
2. Make all of our own bread. Hoping for this to happen once we get settled in our own house, my mother in laws kitchen isn't an optimal place but I will be putting more effort into this.
3. Grow a garden. Again, much easier when we get a house!
4. Get myself a nice piece of jewelry for my birthday. Every girl deserves a good piece of jewelry!
5. Visit the south. I would love to go someplace south of Washington DC, the Carolinas, Georgia, we shall see!
6. Pay for someone's meal, either in the drive thru or out at a restaurant.
7. Reconnect with old friends. Some friends from college and high school that I have neglected and would like to get back in touch with and see where the relationship goes. :)
8. Try extra hard to keep connections with loved ones. Even the friends that I have kept close with I wish we talked more and got together more often, I am going to make an effort to make that possible!
9. Cook an entire Thanksgiving meal, from scratch, no cheating!
10. Read 10 books I always thought would be uninteresting... not sure what this one is going to look like but it might be biographies or a different genre.
11. NO SODA
12. Get into the size of clothes I wore in college. I am purposely not basing this on weight because I know that that won't be a motivator, but being able to go out and buy new clothes because my old ones don't fit will!
13. Visit Bar Harbor, I love the whole island and would love to take the boys up there for a weekend or more!
14. Have family photos taken (hopefully after getting back into my college clothes size!)
15. Buy a house
16. Bring the boys to the zoo in Boston.
17. Go to Vermont- eat... ok so this won't help with the smaller size, but there are so many wonderful places to eat in Vermont and I have never been ( I know... I live in Maine its only one state over)
18. Paint pottery... So Casey and I took the boys to do this just before Christmas, but I had so much fun that I want to do it again with them... and without them!
19. Get all my girlfriends together... this one could get interesting, lol! I would love to have all my girlies get together either at a party or out to dinner.
20. Be financially responsible. I have a goal in mind and would like to get there in the next year and a half... it really has to do with reigning in spending and thinking about purchases.
21. Finish the boys' quilts. I started them in September and have made some major progress but will need some major motivation to finish it in the next year and a half. The quilting part will be the hardest part for me because I have never done it before.
22. Only get trims, no true hair cuts. I have started this one already, I got a cut a few weeks ago to cut out the layers and will continue to just get this cut trimmed to see how long my hair will get!
23. Cook all of our meals at home for at least 30 days, no takeout, no fast food, all prepared by me!
24. Get a new laptop... I am missing the up key and the enter key is broken, so it would be nice and will hopefully work out to get myself a new MacBook Air to keep everyone updated!
25. Take the boys fishing. I loved doing this my Dad as a kid, and we have a great place to do it camp so this should be able to happen a lot this summer.
26. Get a job I love. I like my job, but I really want to find one that I love and fits me perfectly, may not happen in the next year and a half, but I would love to be closer to the right job for me.
27. Have a big family reunion, with both sides of my family, Mom's and Dad's.
28. Take a dance class... I loved this in high school, I need to do it again.
29. Keep up with our photos, make sure the ones from my mother in law get put on my computer and get them all organized.
30. Have a baby? Throwing this one on here, but not sure if it will happen... the original plan had been to be done by the time I was 30 and I would like to have 3 children, so this may happen, it may happen later after we have settled in the house and accomplished a few other personal goals.
So there we have it, I will keep you all updated on the progress!
