30 Before 30

A couple weeks ago it dawned on me that I'm now closer to 30 than 20. I decided that it was a little crazy that I did not have a 30 before 30 list! I’m 25 years going on 26 in less than a week,  so it seems about time to prep for my 30's. Either way, here goes:

My 30 before 30 list:


1. Travel to Europe. Drink wine, visit the vineyards, eat homemade pasta and get lost in the charm.
2. Ride in a helicopter.
3. Finish the Modern Library's Top 100 Novels   of All Time list. 
4. Get married to my best friend.
5.  Celebrate Christmas and New Year’s in NYC.
6. Hold my own baby.
7. Print the bazillion photos I have stored on my computer and put them in albums.
8. Learn how to sew and make something pretty that i can wear.
