29 Things

Tomorrow is my birthday. I will be 29 years old.

Here is my list of 29 things to do before I turn 30.

1) Get Brody's scrap book up to date. This is going to be a big project because I have so many pictures of him.

2) Send out a family Christmas card.

3) Read the Book of Mormon.

4) Go on a carriage ride. I have been trying to get Travis to take me on a carriage ride for a few years. This year it will happen!

5) Read every book in book club. Even the ones I know I wont like.

6) Get my eyes checked. I swear my eyes have gotten worse since being pregnant. Beth (Trav's mama) is always teasing me about getting my eyes checked.

7) Start using the library more. I usually just buy books but that really adds up. I could save a lot of money using the library.

8) Start a savings account for Brody. I would like to contribute to his savings every single month.

9) Clean all the carpets in the house.

10) Ride on TRAX. I know this kind of sounds silly but I haven't been on TRAX before so why not?

11) Go to a fair. I don't care if its the State our countyfair, I just really want to go.

12)Learn how to make gnocchi. Gnocchi is my all time favorite pasta and I have wanted to learn how to make it forever.

13) Get my eye lashes tinted. I have done this before and I love the way it looks.

14) Design my own fabric. From the moment I heard about Spoonflower I have been wanting to design my own fabric. I am not artistic at all so I might recruit Travis' help.

15) Get a skin cancer screening. I really should have started doing this years ago. I am going to make Travis do this too.

16) Take a photography class. Another thing from last years list that I didn't complete.

17) Plan a trip out of the country.

18) Finish my quilt.

19) Finish decorating Brody's room. Brody's room is basically finished except some small details.

20) Make a quiet book.

21) Read 18 books.

22) Start a "cash only" budget.

23) Ride on the Alpine Slide.

24) Go snow shoeing. I have been dying to do this for years! I just need to make someone go with me.

25) Go hiking. This was on last years list but this year I am not pregnant and I have a new back pack to lug Brody in.

26) Make a cake from scratch. I always make cakes from mixes so I thought I should give this one a try.

27) Go off carbonation for 6 months. This really shouldn't be too hard for me. I am more of a water or lemonade girl anyways.

28) Donate/sell/throw away at least 5 things a month. I need to do some major de-junking and hopefully this will help me.

29) Start next years list.

  1. Great list! #26 and #20 and #26 are on my list of to-do's also. #10 is funny and random. I think pregnancy screwed up my vision too, but I'm too much of a wuss about eyes, that I'll never go to the doctor!

  2. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    You should get your eyes checked. Pregnancy DOES screw with your vision. Trust me, I know.

    Ride on TRAX. It's fun and the cheapest way to get to Gateway if you do it right. Park in the free fare zone!

    Great list. Keep us updated!
