You know that 30 before 30 list I’ve been chatting about? Well, here it is. Now that it’s officially published, I better get my act together and start crossing items off the long list! To be totally honest, I’m quite intimidated. Here goes nothing.

1.)  Find the most perfect little black dress. And purchase it.

2.)  Donate my hair to locks of love. Completed on 12/6/11 – proof here

3.)  Perfect one killer cocktail.

4.)  Compete in the decathlon.

5.)  Break my athletic club’s decathlon push-up record.

6.)  Learn how to make my parent’s delicious eggs benedict.

7.)  Give cold hard cash to a charity of my choice.

8.) Take a cooking class. Completed on 12/17/11 – proof here

9.)  Play one round of golf with my Dad and brother. I hear they are quite good. 

10.) Create and order our wedding album.

11.) Visit Kyle’s grandparent’s historic bar in  Crawfordsville, Oregon.

12.)  Get a spray tan (must succumb  to this – I live in Oregon!). Completed on 12/1/11

13.)  Take my niece and nephew on a special  “Auntie Outing”.

14.)  Pamper myself – get  a facial and a massage in the SAME day. Imagine that.

15.) Surprise Kyle with something.

16.)  Visit New York for the first time.

17.)   Begin the search for our next home. 

18.)  Buy a luxurious set of sheets. No more sets from Target.

19.)  Legitimately learn PhotoShop.

20.)  Take a hard look at our finances/retirement accounts.

21.)   Take a sewing class.

22.) Officially launch my design services on Restored Style.

23.)  Try bikram yoga.

24.) Think (NOT try!) about adding a wee one to our very content family of two.

25.)  Read the stack of books on my bed side table. All of them.

26.)   Pay it forward to a stranger.

27.)  Buy the camera lens I’ve been coveting.

28.) Save ALL my photos to my external hard drive. No more memory mishaps.

29.)   Open a cherished bottle of wine from the wine collection my Grandfather gifted me many years ago.

30.)   Have a birthday party to celebrate turning 30!

Come Nov. 2nd, I hope to have crossed *most* of these items off my list. I’ll be sure to update  you along the way as I’m certain there will be a few blunders here and there. But isn’t that what makes life grand? The unexpected challenges and triumphs?

Cheers to the dirty 30!
