The List

Grad school is done.
Commissioning is done.
Buying a home is done.
Yet there are so many other experiences in life out there to enjoy.  Inspired from a friend, I decided to compile a 30 before 30 list.  The rules of the said list are: either complete activity by 30th birthday or have plans to complete activity by 30th birthday and make sure to chronicle the events.

Therefore, here are the 30 things that I plan to do before I turn 30:

1. Run a 10K
2. Go on a zip-line
3.  Do the Superman Bungee flying thing (aka Superflyer Extreme)
4.  Fly a plane
5.  Eat a meal from vegetables from my yard
6.  Take a cooking class
7.  Take dance lessons
8.  Publish an article (not online)
9.  Go on a silent retreat
10.  White-water raft the Gauley River
11.  Blog my experiences
12.  Read the Lord of the Rings series
13.  Do a voice and violin recital
14.  Build a piece of furniture
15.  Hang glide or parasail or skydive
16.  Go on a hot air balloon ride
17.  Buy (and wear) a pair of brightly colored shoes
18.  Hike part of the Appalachian Trail
19.  Work on learning Spanish
20.  Visit a new state
21.  Donate my hair
22.  Get a dog
23.  Plan and do a family mission trip
24.  Visit a new country
25.  Host a dinner party
26.  Eat for one whole week from farmers' market food
27.  Tutor one afternoon a week
28.  Find a Spiritual Director
29.  Crash a wedding
30.  Plan a vacation with friends

So there it is!  30 things to do before June 9th.  Guess I better get to planning.
