30 before 30.,.......

So my B-I-G 30 is coming up next March. Yes, I know how can I be turning 30 in less than 10 months........... There are days when I feel like I am still 17 years old, then I quickly realize that is way in my past. So I am sitting down now and trying to make my "30 before 30 bucket list" of things I would like to accomplish before my 30th birthday. Some of these items will happen, some of them may happen, while others are probably a little wishful thinking (thanks to the 2 drinks I have already had tonight :) ) so here goes, these are in no specific order.

1.find a church that we can attend as a family

2.learn to live for the moment

3.make sure to take time with my kids each day and not worry about anything else

4.start reading again....and actually finish a book

5.take a family vacation with just the 4 of us

6.take time each day with my fur babies (they have really been put on the back burner since we had kids)

7.take time each day to read a devotional

8.find a book of devotionals that will keep my interest for the year

9.go on a all girls trip with my BFF's

10.get back into going to the gym

11.try to be happy with my body and embrace it after having 2 kids

12.keep my house in presentable order

13.be there for those who are there for me in life

14.really take time with God each day

15.make a budget and stick with it for a month (heck for a week)

16. go on a trip with just my hubby (even if its just a night or two)

17.start having date night with my hubby at least once a month

18. try to have a date night/play date with the each of the boys one on one each month

19.stay on top of our family blog and try to hit all the important things that happen in the next year

20.get Austin to start sleeping in his bed again and not on the sofa in the playroom

21.start taking a little time for just me each month (a happy woman makes a happy Mommy, right?")

22. get on the interstate and drive without worries

23.continue to work on overcoming my anxiety

24. get my house organized in a way that makes since and works for our family

25.make time for us (my hubby and I) each day to just be a couple not mommy and daddy

26. go a full day without the Internet and cell phone

27.work on the boys baby books

28.take the boys on a airplane (or at least Austin)

29. celebrate each holiday to the fullest-or at least try to make each one a big deal for the kids.

30. get to know other families in our neighborhood-so that we can be like the "cute family" and have cook outs.

There you have it. These are the things I hope or wish to work on in the next year. There are probably another 100 items that I would like to see happen in the next year or 10 months but these are some of the ones I really want to work on. Stay tuned to see how it goes and which ones I am able to do and which ones don't happen.
