3 Years & 3 Months

So before this whole new year, 2013 thing happened, I decided I would share with you all my list of 30 before 30. For those of you on the slow train this morning (don't worry...I'm right there with ya)...30 things I'd like to complete before I'm 30 years old. I'll be 27 in 3 months (April 30th...write that down.) which means I've got 3 years and 3 months to complete all 30. {Gasp.}

I shared my list with you as a way to hold myself accountable for actually completing all 30. (Perhaps I should start posting my weekly chores and workouts so you all could hold me accountable there too? Just an idea...)

So anywho...since I've started working towards some of my goals, I realized I've actually made quite a bit of progress! (Pats self on back.) Granted, there's still a lot to do, but hey, at least we're not starting with a blank canvas here people. Give me some credit, k? K!

Some things I'm currently working on, some I've completely accomplished, and some, well, I haven't even thought about yet...

Without further adieu...my 30 before 30 update:

1. Pay for someone else's meal anonymously: still looking for that perfect person/family!
2. Witness a proposal: check & check! This should count as two things, yes?
3. Be a maid of honor
4. Learn graphic design: LONG way to go here... 
5. Drink wine in Napa 
6. Learn how to shoot in manual (& be semi-decent at it): EXTRA long way to go here...
7. Make double mortgage payments once/year: possibly happening next month?! 
8. Pack only in a carry on for a trip: DONE! My recent trips to both Pittsburgh AND Vegas were only packed in a carry on! And yes, one night trips totally count when the other people you're with checked bags! 
9. Eat a raw diet for 3 days straight: ya...so about that...
10. Turn my blog into a book 
11. Write a gratitude for a full year: currently in progress! It's amazing the things you're thankful for when you know you have to write something different every single day for an entire year! I highly recommend this!
12. Find a church and go regularly: DONE! Beau and I both recently found a church less than a mile from our house and we are really loving it! We actually get excited on Sunday mornings and look forward to the message for once! The fact that you can literally wear anything (and I mean ANYTHING) you want and our pastor is hysterical makes going to church THAT much better. 
13. Swim in Lake Michigan: possibly this summer?! We shall see! 
14. Grow blog to 6,500 followers: always a work in progress! And YES! Some bloggers may say they don't pay attention to/care about the followers. I'm pulling the BS card... 
15. Send handwritten cards once/week 
16. Renew our vows in April 2016: can we do this, like, tomorrow?! ;)
17. Have a baby: no set plans as of now but who knows?!
18. Go an entire week without social media: wahhhhh!! I don't wanna!! 
19. Host a party all on my own 
20. Start a new family tradition 
21. Take a vacation with just Beau and myself: planning one for next year! Hallelujah! 
22. Visit my family in Tennessee 
23. Send my mom on a vacation 
24. Get a puppy: Check! Check! Check! Well, almost! Our new baby girl will be home in 6-8 weeks! 
25. Be a leader in my company: always a work in progress! 
26. Buy Beau a Ford Raptor...in cash 
27. Wake up at 5am every week day 
28. Work out 3 times per week before work 
29. Rebuild savings account to at least $25,000 
30. Pay it forward in a really BIG way

My goal for 2013 is to complete 11 of the 30 to keep myself on track. It's only February and I've already knocked out 5. Can I get a hell ya?!

Proof yo:
