Happy fall y’all! It’s officially that season and I’m already seeing a bunch of leaves on the ground, which is fun. I love fall.
My birthday also landed on the first day of fall this year. I still love my birthday, maybe I’m not old enough to hate it yet? 😉 But it feels like it’s MY day, and it usually involves treats of some kind – what’s not to love about that?
This year, I turned 29 years old. One more year of my 20’s, and then I’m off to a new decade. It seems a little crazy for sure, but I’m not scared to turn 30. I’m ready to see what the next decade has in store for me, and I say bring it on!
With that in mind, I decided to create a list of 30 things I’d like to do before I turn 30. I’ll revisit it next year to see how many I actually do!
So, here we go. 30 things before 30:
- Visit a new state
- Learn to play a new sport or game
- Get a tattoo!? (Sorry dad lol)
- Do something that scares me
- Stop holding grudges
- Spend less time on social media
- Plant a tree
- Learn to drive a combine or work ground
- Do more house projects
- Make more time for writing
- Finish my third novel
- Take a spontaneous trip
- Journal more
- Try at least 10 new recipes
- Learn how to make a pie
- Be more positive
- Give less time and energy to things that don’t matter
- Slow down and enjoy the little things
- Read more!!
- Spend more time with my niece and nephew
- Shoot my first buck!
- Convince Dan to take me coyote hunting with him lol
- Complain less
- Run more races and get faster
- Swim again!
- Excel at my job
- Be more confident
- Spend more time outside
- Plan a wedding
- Marry the love of my life!
So, the last two are for sure happening! In case you didn’t see it earlier this week, Dan asked me to marry him and I of course said yes! It’s been such an exciting week and I’ve felt the love for sure.
And we set a date! We’ll be married on July 20, 2024. And I can’t wait!!
I’m looking forward to what 29 has in store for me, and so far, it’s looking pretty darn good. I’ll definitely be leaving my 20’s with a bang.
Thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday and/or shared in our excitement on the engagement. I don’t think I’ve stopped smiling all week!
Until next time! 🙂
