30 Before 30 - A Revisit of Sorts

It's been almost a year since I compiled this list and thought it would be a tad bit motivating to revisit it and give some updates. So...here goes.

  1. Learn to play guitar - it's ridiculous that I have the music background that I have and have never learned.  Update: Learned 2 chords? That counts right? We'll call this one "in progress"
  2. Take a spontaneous trip - no plans, to itineraries.
  3. Do one thing that absoultely terrifies me - vague, but necessary.
  4. Present at a conference - yay professional development!
  5. Run a 10K - we'll probably start with a 5K here
  6. Buy a House 
  7. Learn to meditate - I've heard good things. Figured I would give it a shot.
  8. Blog More - Check! (Doing that RIGHT NOW)
  9. Write a book  Update Halfway there. May turn it into a blog instead?
  10. Buy a house
  11. Skydive/bungee jump
  12. Manage debt - Going into my 30's debt free, ya'll Calling this one "in progress" too.
  13. Set up emergency savings fund - yay more adult things!
  14. Meet an elephant
  15. Habitat For Humanity build
  16. Start a garden - might have to wait for #6
  17. Hike in NC - Really. I've lived here 3 years already. Check! Completed a three mile hike up in Troutman buuttt there's lots more places I want to try.
  18. Go to the movies by myself - honestly never done this. I'm terrified of it. CHECK! Super proud of this one. Went to see Jungle Book one random Friday I had off and it was awesome - the movie and the experience.
  19. Go camping 
  20. Take a cooking class
  21. Unplug from my phone for a whole weekend - <cries uncontrollably the whole time>

  27. Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion - a three day, boot stompin', real country music festival in Bristol Tennessee/Virginia. Check! Easily one of the best music festivals I've ever been to.
  28. Watch Star Wars start to finish - True Life: I have never seen any of them. Check! I watched all of them in a week to prepare for Episode 7. Can't say I hated it.
  29. Put a secret in a PostSecret book in a bookstore - I found one in my book a few years ago. Time to return the favor.
  30. Visit 2 more states - may just get in the car and drive for this one. Update: Iowa in August and then...? Hopefully traveling somewhere fun next year :D
