30 Before 30!

I have an amazing friend and fellow blogger who created her 30 Before 30 list a few months ago. Now that I have reached 26 and I have 4 years remaining....I think I better nip my list in the butt and get moving on accomplishing some of these. So, here is my 30 things I would like to accomplish before my 30th birthday! On my way......

***I will preface now, my dear friend who inspired me to accomplish this is much wittier than I am, so please show pity on my terrible sense of humor! (and I also borrowed a few of her items!)

1. GET DEBT FREE

2. No eating out for an entire year...this will be tough, but I love a challenge

3. Get my butt back in shape and run the marathon I have been "training" for---I have been "training" for the last 7 years ;) and run in at least 2 before I am 30

4. Graduate midwifery college (and I will accept it as GOD's will if I don't graduate with honors---but I am striving!)

5. Finally take my honeymoon (on my 10 year anniversary) to Ireland

6. Sing a musical special at church

15. Learn a foreign language (French, I think...)

16. Make myself, "R", and "A" our own dresses

17. Get another tattoo

25. Learn yoga

26. Grow my hair out passed my breasts

  1. LOVE your list! Let's find some way to help each other out with this marathon-running stuff... maybe we could do some of our longer training runs together? I'm thinking about running a half-marathon this Spring (I think about it while I struggle to run 2 miles), so I need to get my behind in gear soon!
