30 by 30 Update

Sometimes I don't like to think about it, but I'm about 2 months away from my 28th birthday. Therefore, I'm 2 years away from my 30th birthday, so it's take to take a look at my 30 by 30 list and see how I'm doing.

Blow up at least 3 of our own photos to use at art in the new house

Make a calendar in Photoshop to give as Christmas gifts

Teach Snax a new trick

Serve at a soup kitchen at Christmastime - This seems tougher to do than I expected. It seems everyone wants to do this at Christmas and they only want volunteers who can commit on a regular basis. I'll keep trying.

Take a wine tour - Not done, but my friend Ashley bought one on Groupon so we should be doing that sometime this year

Play ice hockey

Try (and hopefully enjoy) running - Started this. I'll add a post in a couple weeks.

Bungee jump - I'm ready, just need a location and some extra cash

Road trip down the California coast - Still dreaming. Not going to happen this year.

Scuba dive - Not sure if this will happen either. No vacation plans in sight.

See the Goo Goo Dolls in concert

Go on a short term missions trip with AJ - would still love to do this, but it might be on hold until we have older kids

Weigh 160 - had a baby. Still working on this.

Read the favourite book of at least one friend each year - Going well. Will be looking for one this year.

Spend New Year’s downtown in a big city - Possible.

Read the Harry Potter series

Spend a day some time painting on canvas - This is the most likely to be next.

See the Grease musical

Take kickboxing

Learn to drive stick (better) - Also a strong candidate. Just need to get out there.

Go white water rafting

Pay off our debts

Recover the dining room chairs - I so so want to do this, but the old covers were outrageously stapled and I haven't found the time to get them off.

Learn to sew so I don’t have to get my mom to fix my buttons

Get a great permanent job

Buy a design program (probably Photoshop)

Host a family Christmas

Bake a pie from scratch

Be in a play - Trying to convince my church's children's ministry to do something so I can be in it without having too big a commitment.

Have a baby

16 complete. About halfway done in both time and tasks, but I've got some tough ones to go. Not sure I'll be able to complete the travel ones, but the others should be do-able.
