30 before 30



April 16, 2012

Good morning! I hope everyone had a nice, relaxing weekend. This weekend I was able to get some chores done and focus on some goals. Realizing that I am now, officially, in my mid-twenties, I thought it was a good time to make a 30 by 30 list. Inspired by the likes of Jordan and Nicole, the list below features some big and small life goals. Honestly, it was hard to stop at 30. I’m a little concerned about buying a home AND paying off my student loans, but I think it’s feasible. After I hit the big 3-0, I’ll focus my efforts on a bigger, life list. Have you made a 30 by 30 or life list? If so please share!

HELLO

Decor and home with a little bit of daydreaming and real life sprinked in. My husband and I are slowly updating our 1900 Dutch Colonial. I love hunting for vintage and flying the pacific northwest and the world with my aviator husband.
