here you have it team... i am going to do these 30 things before i turn 30. exactly one year from right now. here's how it works:
at Donald Miller's advice, i will: write a good story, take somebody with me and include God in the process :)
- i have 30 things to do
- i have tried to pick things that will challenge my mind, body and faith
- i will blog about them all today and then as i do them, so my hope is that this will keep me accountable to doing all 30 in the next 365 days. stay tuned if you wanna watch these stories unfold!

-if there's a U2 concert in the next year i'm IN!
-can i help with the dinner party? (possibility to wear that fancy new dress AND work on your wine collection?)
-you can come visit me when i go up to my parents in northern california, and stop in monterey/carmel along the way (yay for central coast drives!)
5 & 7 are on my list, though not sure I'd be able to do those in the next year.
alright lady. i'm holding you accountable.
Honestly, this is why I have the most awesomest sister in the world. I cant wait for you to complete your 30 before 30.
1. I will make sure and help your wine collection.
2. If you go to a U2 concert or George Strait in TX, I WILL be there.
3. I love that you will go on 2 dates.
4. You are my HERO!
Cant wait to see you this week!
Can Jason and I be invited to the dinner party!? And we'll bring a bottle of wine to add to your collection...
You've inspired me to make my own list, hmmm I think a list of what I want to do before kids!! I looooovvve this idea!! so cool!
Alright here we go... :)
Number 3) I like that you threw in "or a half marathon" haha
20) I like this one.
24) This is much harder than one would think. I spent 5 days locked in a room with my bible and bed. No phone, tv etc. That was the longest 5 days of my life, but also the most peaceful. That was during a really really long fast which included no water for 2 1/2 days of the 5. Really not something I want to do all the time, but everyone should get some major doses of solitude on purpose.
I really like number 28). :)
what are the two that might not be possible?
dustin!
