Thirty Things Before Turning 30 Bucket List

Welcome to the adventures of a twenty-something approaching 30; trying to accomplish my "Thirty Things Before Turning 30 Bucket List".

 

In anticipation of climbing the ladder to the big 3-0, I've been contemplating a broad range of things that I wish to TRY achieving, before said age. I would love nothing more than to complete my list of thirty in its entirety, but my realistic goal will be to finish twenty of the thirty listed. If I happen to fall short it won't be because I didn't try my hardest.
 
Here is my list of thirty in no particular order...

My 30 Before 30:
 

• Feed the adrenaline junkie in me and go skydiving

• Spend a weekend touring the "Windy City", Chicago

• Marry my soul mate and best friend

• Travel somewhere by train

• Give Kaylee a sibling

• Buy our first house

• Travel to a destination by plane

• Enroll and go back to school for my Bachelor's in English Literature

• Lose 40 pounds and maintain a healthy lifestyle (halfway there - down 20lbs)

• Spend New Year's Eve at Times Square in New York City

• Try a Crossfit class

• Run in a 5K Color Run

• Party the weekend away in Vegas for my 30th Birthday

• Visit family in California that I haven't seen since age 5

• Road trip up and down the East Coast for a week with just my Mom and I

• Take a photography class

• Ride in a hot air balloon

• Go skiing and see the snow in Colorado

• Start a lifestyle blog

• Learn how to use Photoshop or any photo editing software
