Today is my 26th birthday. I am kind of sad to see my 25th year go – what a wonderful year! However, I am convinced that the late 20s will be my best years yet. So in honor of getting older, I have created a 30 before 30 list. (May also be referred to as the “Things I want to do before we have kids” list.;)
When I initially drafted this list, I wanted to be sure to set goals that were attainable, but not accessible. Things that would bring others joy, make me happy, teach me new skills, and accomplish some major personal challenges (Item #15—I’m looking at you).
Who knows what will happen in the next four years. Will I have children? Will we live in Raleigh? Will we still be living in an apartment, or will we have saved up for a home? What will my job be? I have no idea what life will bring us. But I do know I am going to have a lot of fun checking off this list. :)
Here are a few of my favorites:
#3 Leave a $200 tip at a diner for a well-deserving waitress.
#7 Write a children’s book.
#11 Take an international trip.
#16 Get a dog and name him Chauncey.
#22 Sew curtains
#28 Learn to rap an entire song.

What do you want to accomplish in the next few years? Do you have a list of goals before you turn a certain age or a bucket list for your life? If so, please share!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GINNA!!! Hope it’s a fabulous day for you and you can check off a large chunk of those throughout the year! Enjoy your special day!

Great quote/picture at the top!
Happy Birthday!! My 26th birthday is next Friday actually, so yay for September babies! :)
Love the 30 by 30 list. I have my own, but I’ve been considering revising it. I like your idea of attainable items that make others happy. Excited to see how you check these things off your list!
Happy Belated Birthday!
I love your list. Good luck with it!
I actually have a list like this created around my 25th birthday. I’m currently drafting an upcoming blog post about my progress at the halfway point. I am 27 1/2 about a month from now on October 15th. I invite you over to my blog to see it then.
This is a cool idea. I love what you’ve put down. I’ve always thought about doing a list like this, but then I get side tracked with my other goals that I want to accomplish. Good luck and happy birthday.
