1. Get Married To My Heart's Desire and My Best Friend.
I am not one of those girls who dreamed of her wedding day since preschool. As I have gotten older and more ready to make that kind of commitment, I am starting to think about it more and more. Sure, I love to look at the pictures of other people's weddings and think about the things I want to have at my wedding, but that one day is not the reason this is on my list. I am excited to start a life with my best friend and have a partnership based on love, respect, and loyalty with plenty of fun and laughter along the way.
2. Become a Momma
Family is one of the most special and important things in my life and to start my own family is a lifelong dream of mine. I would love to have both my own biological children as well as adopt and I think it is one of the things I am looking forward to most in life.
I know that those are pretty basic things that a lot of people accomplish in life, but those are the two things that I would be disappointed if I didn't get to experience. Beyond those things here is my 30 Before 30 list of all the things I would love to do before I die:

These are just a few of the goals that I thought of (for now) for my finances, food, travels, my brain, my heart and my soul. I will keep you all posted on my progress on these goals and hopefully will get to cross a few off soon!
If you want to play along with Top 2 Tuesdays, head on over to the Undomestic Momma
And to link up your list of 30 Before 30 (or whatever goals you have for your stage in life) head on over to E, Myself and I
I feel the exact same about number two especially. I feel like being a mom is what I'm meant to be in life. Like it's my purpose, however corny that sounds, lol. I want to have biological kids and adopt as well :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog :-) That is quite a list before 30! Take time and enjoy it all. My 20's seemed to fly by so fast (even though I think my 30's have been much better than my 20's!) So nice to meet you & love your blog!
