Anyway, here is an updated and slightly revised 30 before 30.
1. Hike a 14er - This is still a possibility as Rufus* will hopefully come at the beginning of April and would give me 4 months.
2. Read 30 non-fiction books - Slowly but surely, I'm making it there. Being pregnant has helped. The books I've read so far are:
a. Food: A Love Story by Jim Gaffigan
b. Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls by David Sedaris
c. I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman by Nora Ephron
d. Bossypants by Tina Fey
e. Yes Please by Amy Poehler
f. 1776 by David McCullough
g. Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand (still reading)
h. What to Expect When You're Expecting by Sharon Mazel, Heidi Murkoff and Arlene Eisenberg
i. 1,107 Baby Names That Stand the Test of Time by Jennifer Griffin
j. The Everything Baby Names Book by June Rifkin
k. The Baby Name Wizard by Laura Wattenberg
l. Beyond Ava and Aiden by Linda Rosenkrantz and Pamela Redmond Satran
m. What to Expect the First Year by Heidi Murkoff
3. Memorize 30 Bible verses - I'm lucky if I can remember where I put my purse these days. This has been challenging.
4. Find my birth parents - Paperwork has been submitted to agency. Now it's a waiting game.
5. Take a class - When I wrote this, I thought it would be something fun like pottery. Not a child and birth preparedness class.
6. Hand-write 5 cards/letters each month - Yeah, I've averaged about 2 a month. Something about wanting to sleep for 16 hours a day really keeps you from writing cards, even though I know I should and it wouldn't take that long.
7. Go to a concert at Red Rocks - Again, still a possibility. But, we did go to a concert at the Gothic Theater in December, which was awesome and I am totally okay counting that.
8. Do a month-long photo challenge on Instagram - Again, still have time. And let's be honest, it will probably happen after Rufus* is here, because who doesn't want to see daily pictures of what I'm sure will be the cutest baby ever?
9. Run a 5k - DONE!! Finally, something I've actually accomplished on this list. I did the Color Run back in September and it didn't kill me.
10. Hold a Pinterest party and actually complete the projects - Yeah, this one is probably a long shot unless it involves people coming over to help me with the nursery. Or the baby.
11. College roomie reunion - I refuse to rule this one out just yet.
12.Take Eric skydiving - Surprisingly, sky diving is not recommended while pregnant so this one will probably not be happening.
13. Find and/or create a signature drink - Might happen, but I'm not holding my breath.
14. Travel to a new state - It could happen. The Four Corners isn't that far away and I've never been to Arizona. A baby can totally make that trip, right?
15. Go to a
16. Find an organization to volunteer with - This got pushed to the back burner, but I've been doing some research and hope that after Rufus has arrived I can volunteer my services with a yet to be decided charity.
17. Get another stamp in my passport - This will most likely not happen.
18. Finish family tree - Maybe. But doubtful.
19. Actually print off pictures from study abroad - I could print them off, but at this point they would just end up in a pile in the office.
20. Pay off car loan - Yeah, this whole having a baby thing is expensive so while it probably won't happen before I'm 30, the goal is by the end of year.
21. Have a baby - Since it's going to happen anyway, I might as well add this so I can feel like I accomplished something during this year.
*Rufus is what we call the baby inutero. It is NOT what we are naming the baby.
