1.) Get Married (or at least engaged)
2.) Sew a quilt
3.) Learn to crochet and knit well
2 & 3 have definitely been put on the back burner for a little while. I don't have the time right now, but they are on hold, not forgotten!
4.) Visit New York City at Christmas
We have this tentatively planned for December 2014! Will be booking when we get back from Florida this January.
5.) Get my travel scrapbook up to date (up to the end of 2015 at least, in case I'm away just before I turn 30)
6.) Become a morning person!
This is one that is kind of hard to evaluate and cross off the list. I think that until I have a job I absolutely LOVE that I will always have a bit if a hard time getting up for a work day, but as of May 2013 I have been hitting the snooze button significantly less. Also, on weekends I rarely sleep past 8:30-9:00.
7.) Work out on a regular basis
Again, another one that's hard to really cross off the list, as it's more of a lifestyle change then something that you can just do one day. But, I'm very happy to say that I have been weight training and working on my cardio by running. The weather is starting to warm up enough that I will be taking my running training outside very soon. So far I am very proud of myself for working on this goal. I'm not sure anyone else would notice, but I can defintely see more muscle definition, and notice a huge difference in my strength at the gym.
8.) Visit a continent I have never been to
Loose plans to make this Africa as part of our honeymoon. Planning to start in Morocco. I will be thirty at this point, but if I can do this whole list before my 31st birthday, I will be happy. I did only make it a few weeks before I turned 27
9.) Visit all the provinces in Canada
Been to: Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Quebec, and Ontario.
Still to Conquer: Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia.
10.) Pay all of my "bad debt"
This is proving to be such an uphill battle for me right now. School costs are out of control, and the price of everything is rising, while my paycheck stays the same amount! I'm getting closer, but you still have to enjoy your life. All work and no play makes Jessica a dull girl. I have cut out frivolous spending at home though. No more eating out, or $5.00 lattes/smoothies. All extra income outside of my small vacation savings goes to that debt!
11.) Learn a second language
12.) Run a 1/2 Marathon
Complete January 11, 2014
13.) Swim with Dolphins
14.) Skydive
15.) Try Surfing
16.) Get Lasik

Ideas for 40 before 40.... Mt. Kilimanjaro... have a baby... visit all 50 states... Snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef... Machu Picchu... have a condo in NYC... visit the Harry Potter set in the UK... Do a backpack sytle trip around Asia... Spend a week in LA... Bungee Jump...
I love this! I had a "bucket list" at one point, but I have misplaced it and you have definitely inspired me to write my own... so thank you! My favorite one on your list was to be come a morning person... good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I don't expect to actually complete this one, as I didn't make it until I was almost 27. I figured whatever I didn't get done I could transfer to my 40 before 40 and then really take 10 years to make sure that one gets finished! You should make a list, its really fun!
