30 by 30

I've been wanting to make a 30 by 30 list (a list of 30 things I'd like to do before turning 30)

for some time. On my 27th birthday I wasn't blogging, and I don't want to wait until my next birthday, so I figured my half birthday today is a good day for this. Plus, that gives me 30 months to get going! Without further ado, in no particular order...

{1} Read 30 books

{2} Travel to 3 states I haven't yet visited

{3} Travel abroad with Michael

{4} Go on a retreat

{5} Have a child

{6} Try new foods & recipes

{7} Dine at a rooftop restaurant in NYC

{8} Read the entire Bible

{9} Watch a sunrise

{10} Get to know the Catechism of the Catholic Church better

{11} Make new friends and keep the old

{12} Send more handwritten letters

{13} Volunteer my time

{14} Take more pictures - improve my photography skills

{15} Visit my sister in San Francisco

{16} Take a calligraphy class

{17} Maintain a healthy lifestyle - stay active & fit

{18} Write 30 poems

{19} Start a small group with other young couples

{20} Grow my private voice studio

{21} Make continued learning a priority

{22} Dip my toes into the Atlantic & Pacific Oceans again

{23} Visit some of the Great Lakes

{24} Read an Encyclical

{25} Find a blogging routine

{26} Go swing dancing with Michael

{27} Keep up with my One Line A Day 5 year Memory Book

{28} Go through all my stuff still at my parents' house (no small task)

{29} Strive daily to be a saint

{30} Focus more on the eternal

God's will be done, as always. :)

I hope to update this post as time goes on, keeping track of what I have accomplished here.
What's on your bucket list? I'd love to know!
