I thought it was time to do one last 30 by 30 update, since I turn 30 in August of this year. I first created this list in 2016 and life has changed A LOT since then. There are things I don’t care about doing anymore, and things that I know aren’t going to happen, but that I would still love to experience sooner than later. Overall we’ve done a lot of things, and I have a better idea of what exactly I would put on another bucket-type of list again. Interests change, circumstances change, and I’m ok with that — that’s how life goes, and really how life gets better, so I have no regrets 🙂
Take my kids on a Disney vacation.(We went to Disney World in March of 2017 – see the last post about it here – the others are linked at the beginning of it! We also went to Disneyland in November of 2018.)Attend a bloggers conference.(While not exclusively for bloggers, I’m counting Momday!)Attend an Allison’s Dance Party!(Not sure if this is a thing anymore, but probably not going to happen even if it is, which is ok!)Go on a zipline.(Probably not going to happen by my birthday but would still love to do.)Go parasailing. (Probably not going to happen by my birthday but would still love to do.)Go on a cruise.(Probably not going to happen by my birthday but would still love to do.)Run a Ragnar.(Probably not going to happen by my birthday but would still love to do.)Buy a DSLR (and learn how to use it).(Nope, I don’t have interest in this anymore.)Have one more baby.(Yep, we welcomed Jonah in May of 2018!)Attend a UBAM convention.(Wasn’t for me.)- Run at least 1 5K per year.
