30 before 30

I saw this today on another blog and thought I would give it a try. I will be 30 in 4 1/2 more years and I would hope to get a lot of these things accomplished by then.

1. Finish renovating our house (kitchen, bathroom, basement)
2. Get a dog (or two)
3. Finish my Master's Degree in Educational Administration
4. Join a gym and actually go to it regularly
5. Maintain my goal/wedding weight for at least a full year
6. Cook more and learn new recipes
7. Visit Greece, Hawaii, Napa Valley, and Italy (hummm...that may be a lot for 4 1/2 years)
8. Read more books (thank you Twilight for giving me a love for books again)
9. Become more "handy" around the house
10. Start running
11. Start a family
12. Send out holiday cards each year
13. Keep the house cleaner and organize my things
14. Give more to charities
15. Start tutoring
16. Try more new restaurants in town
17. Keep in touch with my girlfriends better
18. Learn how to use our grill
19. Take a roadtrip
20. Visit new states in the US
21. Decorate the house for the different seasons
22. Pamper myself more (manis, pedis, facials, and massages
23. Purchase wedding photo albums
24. Go apple picking (I have never done this before!)
25. Start clipping coupons
26. Organize my photos
27. Purchase a "real" camera and take a photography class
28. Grow a garden
29. Go on more dates with my husband
30. Be truly happy with my family, children, job, and life

I hope that in 4 1/2 years, I can check all of these goals off my list. What an accomplishment that would be!
