First 30 While 30 Update

Wedding planning has been keeping me very busy lately.  We recently got out our Save the Dates, which was a postcard with a photo from our engagement photo shoot.



We've been busy researching our honeymoon in Italy, which I'm getting more and more excited for.  I also picked up my wedding veil, which I'm borrowing from my future sister-in-law.  And Bret has been researching custom-made suits for himself and his best men.  In other words, we have definitely been keeping busy!  Maybe this is why I didn't make as much progress I would have liked on my 30 by 30 list - whoopsie!  Since I've decided to continue on and trying to complete as many items as possible while I'm 30, here is my first 30 while 30 update: 

1. Run a 5K.
2. Go camping, like real camping...overnight...in a tent.
3. Pay off all of my credit card debt.
6. Walk the Brooklyn Bridge.
7. Go out to dinner and a movie by myself.
8. Watch all three of the original Star Wars movies. (Thanks, Karen!)
11. Write a letter of apology to someone that I have wronged and send it.
12. Experiment with molecular gastronomy.
13. Learn to drive stick shift.
14. Learn to make my own kimchi.
15. Learn how to change a car tire.
16. Go to a shooting range.
19. Cook a three-course vegan dinner.
20. Make turducken for the first time.
22. Complete thirty (30) hours of community service or volunteering.
23. Finish an entire plate of Hell Pasta from East Coast Grill.
24. Floss every day. (I only missed four days!)
25. Take a self-defense course.
27. Make gnocchi for the first time.
28. Fly a kite.
29. Milk a cow.
30. Participate in a city dinner crawl, which means having cocktails, appetizer, dinner, dessert and post-dinner cocktails each at a different place in one city in one night.


I already have plans to attack #30 this weekend with some friends in the North End.  And Bret's upcoming work-related trip to California gives me the perfect excuse to tackle #7.  Speaking of California, I recently booked tickets to tag along Bret's trip so we can see our friends who live in the area.  I cannot wait for a long weekend in California....it is long overdue!

Wedding planning has definitely been keeping us busy.  Tell me, what is keeping you busy these days?
