Thirty by 30

What is a “thirty by 30″ list? It’s kind of like a popular internet meme or whatever you call it. It’s a list of thirty goals that the writer hopes to accomplish before they reach the age of 30. It can be written at any point before thirty, but the difficulty of the goals should reflect how long the writer has to accomplish them. I wrote my list at 27, so there are some pretty big items on it, but also a few just fun and silly ones, too. I decided to change it up a little bit and illustrate my list in pictures. Without further ado, my thirty by 30 list in pictures:

  1. I love these! My husband read some of these and he automatically thinks you are awesome because you play Settlers of Catan. It’s one of his favorite games. I’ve actually never played it!
