One month to go: 30 before 30 project

Let’s explore the ‘goals’ I have accomplished for my 30 before 30 plan!

In one month, I turn the big 3-0. SO much amazingness has happened in the past year, I’m thrilled that I’ve been able to accomplish THIS much. With a month left to go, I’m making priorities and planning to knock a few more of these off my list (and LOVE the process of doing so).

Aundra’s 30 by 30 List

1. get married. totally counts. YAY! October 31, 2015.
2. visit 2 new states. No new states are in the plans, this one gets bumped.
3. read 30 books 17 books to go… But hey, 13 books is pretty awesome…
4. hike part of the AT We hiked to McAfee Knob during our mini-moon
5. go zip lining Still want to do this! Looking to go to Lums Pond in DE, it’s so close to us! 
6. take a new-to-me fitness class. acro yoga? belly dance? I took a pure barre class when I traveled to Austin, TX for work!
7. complete our kitchen project (oh man that’s a challenge!!) We bought most of the the things needed for the kitchen, and the project is well underway. It’s so exciting!!!
8. make a backyard planting plan Early greens and flowers are planted, we’re measuring our yard and dreaming of future plans. Next step is to get it into a drawing program. 
9. plant more flowers by the mailbox! In front of the house! By the vegetable boxes and our wedding archway!
10. knit a scarf. maybe I can just knit all my bookmarks together… LOLOL. I did dig out my yarn so I could make a string for Phoebe to play with, so mayyyyybe we’ll see some action here.
11. run 1,000 miles. I did it during my 27th year! LOLOL again. This past year has been all about yoga and strength training for me. A race that I’m an ambassador for is coming up soon, so I’m in race training mode for a 5k, but not like my 2013 runner self. 15+ races per year is not in my immediate future by any means.
