I've been thinking about this post for a while now and just can help myself (event though I'm a tad early).
I'll be thirty this year. I'm being completely serious when I say, I am SO excited! Really!
For me, there's a sense of entitlement with the age. Stupid really. Age has absolutely no bearing on how mature or wise one is.......although, it is usually an indication some learning has happened.
I've been itching to post some goals/aspirations/improvements for the next thirty years.
1-Continue helping, loving, serving my Honey and kids.
2-Find my purpose outside the home, get a job.
3-Save enough $ for 1/2 the value of our house to use as a down payment. Then pay off the mortgage quickly.
4-Be a gossip stopper.
5-Go to college. Maybe a counselor or life coach...or something in the medical field???
6-Read more non-fiction.
7-Save for and have corrective surgery.
8-Listen more. Which means I get to use my lips less =)
9-Continue serving at church.
10-Finish that quilt I started in March 2007 for Esther's 8th b-d. (It may end up taking the next thirty years just to accomplish this one!)
11-Laugh everyday.
12-Continue to journal.
13-Travel to: HAWAII, Australia, New York, Paris, Italy, Scotland, Ireland and England. Just to name a few.
14-Be slow to sin but quick to obey God's word.
15-Stay healthy! Exercise!
16-Write a book.
17-Have company over once a month.
18-Light candles.
19-Get facials every two months. (HEY! They're only $12 at the beauty school.)
20-Never, ever give up on dreams.
21-Conquer fears without sky diving or bungee jumping (I'm not crazy).
22-Watch less tv.
23-Celebrate everyday; every breath.
24-Adopt a foster child.
25-Sing.
26-Instead of making more mistakes, remember what I've learned and make more wise choices.
27-Take swing dance lessons.
28-Make Thia from scratch.
29-Own and operate my own bakery.
and lastly
30-Live a life of, moment by moment, obedience to God.
Whew!

Wow. Can I just copy your goals, or at least join you on some of them, like the facials and the bakery-thing, and the candles and the reading and less tv and being hospitable, and.... It's amazing to think we're halfway to 60 (my Dad will be 60 tomorrow). It really puts into Perspective what's important. Thanks!
Hey! I'd say you've got a good start, cause some of those things you're already good at! Love you, Mom : )
You are going to be SO busy! Great list :-)
Okay, get this...I have just decided (with Josh's agreement) that when the girls get into school, I'm going to go to college..I'm going to minor in writing (I love to write and I'd like to write a book someday..it's a dream of mine) and major in whatever it is I need to major in, in order to become some sort of combo family counselor/life coach. Is that bizzare or what? We've also thought of being foster parents...
