Thirty Before 30 { Final Recap }

Well it happened. I turned 30. And survived. That day I had two margaritas. The end.

But I did want to recap the Thirty in 30 that was a complete fail even though I tried REALLY REALLY hard to make it happen! Maybe instead I’ll complete a 30 @ Thirty challenge this year… that’s still up for debate.

But before I do, I have to tack a little something on related to my last world cup post here. Did I mention that my sister kind of knows Demarcus Beasley? Like works for his camps in the summer and knows him well enough to try on his WORLD CUP SHOES?!

Well she called them boots, but I don’t know if soccer shoes are called boots, but still… She posted this on Instagram yesterday and I saw it this morning…
Yea… Seriously…

Ok, so back to earth for the recap of my serious fail of trying to do too many things in too little time before I turned the big Three Zero.

So I completed 12/30. That’s bad. But life is hectic and never goes the way you plan so when you attempt to do things that you normally wouldn't do every 6 months and try to do them in 60 days or less, it does enhance your ability to fail.

Now I have a list of things to maybe try to do the rest of the summer. I know we’ll go to a drive-In, a baseball game, and some parks. I’d love to get a couple more trips in, but you never know and money always seems to be tight around here.

Where did this week go?

Do you ever have those days where you sit down and realize it's Friday and you have no idea where the week went?  I even had half of it off!  I have no idea how it's Friday already!

I've been busy working on lots of things for Maeve and just got lost in the mix I guess!  But I thought it might be a good day to just recap my 30 before Thirty list... which I feel like I've checked NOTHING off of...

Let's see...

1. Participate in a race
2. Travel somewhere we haven’t been
3. Go to a concert
4. Treat myself to a massage - 5.3.14
5. Weekend Getaway with Spouse
6. Have a Garage Sale or Take things to Consignment! Clean House!
7. Get a facial.
8. Go on a girls trip
9. Reorganize a space in the house completely
10. Start a Summer Tradition
11. Make a fitness goal and achieve it! Run 3x a week for 3 weeks
12. Get out of Debt
13. Visit a State Park
14. Visit a National Park
15. Host a Brunch
*Scheduled for June 19th
16. Try a new restaurant
17. Get at least 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep

Happy Friday!

30 Before Thirty (In Less Than 60 Days)

Happy Monday Blog Hogs!  I hope you had a lovely weekend!  It was a bit chilly here, but still beautiful out and Mr. K and I were able to get some landscaping (very little) projects done and we went to a park both days and rode the carousel there both days which Ells loves... and I loved that we had time to do it!  Hockey is kind of on a break which has allowed for more "family" time which has been nice!

But last week I realized that I am turning 30 in a bit... like less than 60 days... and while nothing is wrong with that, I just felt like I needed to try to do some things - some fun thing, some boring thing, some "me" things - before the time comes! 

So I came up with this list...

30 Before Thirty --- For me.

1. Participate in a race
2. Travel somewhere we haven’t been
3. Go to a concert
4. Treat myself to a massage - 5.3.14
5. Weekend Getaway with Spouse
6. Have a Garage Sale or Take things to Consignment!  Clean House!
7. Get a facial.
8. Go on a girls trip
9. Reorganize a space in the house completely
10. Start a Summer Tradition
11. Make a fitness goal and achieve it!
12. Get out of Debt
13. Visit a State Park
14. Visit a National Park
15. Host a Brunch
16. Try a new restaurant
17. Get at least 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep
18. Go to a professional sporting game
19. Unplug for a weekend
20. Volunteer somewhere - 5.2.14
21. Learn how to take better pictures.
22. Write in Journal once a week for a month.
23. Have a date night.
24. Go to a drive-in movie.
25. Go to the FW Zoo.
26. See a play
27. Have a picnic
28. Go to Chicago
29. Get a Haircut & Style!
30. Finish Divergent Series… haha

Not sure how it will go, but I'll try to update each week!  So far, since May 1st, when I thought of the idea, I've done 2 things.  I had a massage, and I volunteered somewhere.  I feel like we did so many things this weekend, but really we ate and went to the park - hah.  So now, to go through the calendar and see if I can get all of these done before June 25th!

I think I can do this... we plan on Taking Ella to see Mary Poppins at Beef & Boards - a dinner theater here - and we will be going to the zoo soon in Fort Wayne because it's all we can talk about lately!  I'm a little more worried about things like sleep, Chicago, Drive-In (because I don't know of any around here), and a race because I'm just not sure if I'm (1) ready or (2) will be able to find one! 

We will see how it goes!  Maybe I can accomplish one today! 

Happy Monday!
