30 by 30

Have you ever heard of a 30 by 30 list? It is a list of 30 things to do or accomplish by the time you turn 30. I turn 28 in one month, so I think if I am going to do a 30 by 30 list I should get on it. I know I know, here I go making more goals!! I just love to make goals... even though I don't follow through half the time! If you are getting annoyed by it you probably should find another blog to read, because I don't plan to stop anytime soon.

Here is my 30x30 list. I hope to add a widget that lists these to the side of the blog so I can cross them off as I go, we will see!

Life Goals
1. Have a second child
2. Buy our "forever" home

Self Improvement
3. See >160 on the scale
4. Learn to like mushrooms
5. Learn to drive a manual transmission
6. Inline Skate a marathon (officially or unofficially)

I think my favorite is the last one :)

I'm guessing for #3, though, that you want to see <160--I can't imagine your goal is to weigh more than 160 :)

Hey, if we really do make it back to MN in the fall, then maybe in the spring you three can come down to the cities and we can do all your Twin Cities goals together! I was actually just telling Will the other day that I think it'll be fun to take the baby to the sculpture garden.
