My "Dirty 30" To Do List

A while ago I started a list of things to do before I turned 30 and during my 30th year. I have no idea where that list went or what exactly was on that list to be honest but as time is running out and that dreadful day of turning 30 is getting closer I thought I'd better put somethings in ink so I can remember.

1. Lose 30 pounds. Almost there so...... Lose 40 pounds
2. Buy some make up and learn how to use it  Thank you Sopohra
3. Start working on my Masters I got accepted to an online program but now I'm having second thoughts. Would it be easier to just add some endorsments? Is that cheaper? Will it be faster? WHAT DO I DO?!
4. Take a trip with just Kasala and remind myself why I love him so much
5. Spend a whole day with each child and remind the, of how much I love them (without going broke)
6. Run/workout at least 3 times a week from now until January 25th... and then at LEAST twice a week for my 30s
7. Take a girls trip with some friends
8. Buy some new clothes that actually fit properly
9. Clean out all my old clothes and take them to DI or Goodwill so if I get fat again I have nothing to wear.
10. Get rid of things from the past.....pictures, letters...things like that I should have thrown away a long time ago.
11. Tell the important people in my life how much they mean to me
12. Give myself at least 3 compliments a day (this is going to be the hardest)
13.  Read the Book of Mormon every night
14.  Learn to cook healthier meals
15.  Be consistent with Visiting Teaching no matter who it is I visit or who my partner is
16. Work hard to forgive.... and seek forgiveness
17. Monthly temple trips...with Kasala, the girls, Grandma, Mom.... Whoever will go
18. Be a better Blogger....

My list is far from being filled with things I want to do in the next few months and with in the next year but I think it's a good starting off point. There are some pretty serious things that I'm going to have to work extra hard at but I have a feeling that if I keep this commitment to myself, I'll be blessed... and so will my family.

So.... I have 9 weeks to drop 8 pounds and to start packing for our trip to Hawaii. I'm really looking forward to this time with just Kasala and am so grateful that Mom and Dad were willing to watch the girls for us while we took this time for ourselves. Where would I be without my parents?!

And... suggestions welcomed! Any ideas of what I should fill the last 13 spaces with?

I did a list like this too! I have until March to finish it, and I know some of the things just aren't happening! haha I like your list! I tried to do things that would help me build some talents/hobbies, and that would push me to do things I wanted to but usually don't. If that helps at all? Good luck finishing it up! :)
