Thirty Before Thirty

A little over a month ago I turned 29.

I don’t even feel like I’m 29. Somedays I feel like I’m 19 still and other days I feel like I’m 59.

But having the reality hit that I’m going to be 30 in less than a year has made me realize that there’s a lot of things I haven’t done yet in my life and well, the clock is ticking.

To help me cope with this reality of aging and becoming less of a spring chicken, I decided to come up with a list of things that I want to do before I turn 30.

Now before I show you my list of things I wrote down. I wanted to let you know that at the end of the list is a FREE printable that you can use to make your own Thirty Before Thirty list.

I also wanted to let you know that I thought about putting things down like get a house, have another kid, visit a European country, but I realized that they might not be feasible. I decided to make a list of things I knew that I could feasibly do before my birthday in December. You might make a different list and be able to get a house or visit Paris though! And if so, that’s awesome and I hope you get to do it!

  1. Read 30 books 
  2. Learn to crochet
  3. Learn to knit
  4. Join the Rebel Legion as a Jedi
  5. Write a novel
  6. Learn Dothraki
  7. Go to the aquarium again but this time with Marvel
  8. Go to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point
  9. Start an Etsy shop
  10. Go to the Zoo with Marvel and ride the Carousel
  11. Go camping over the summer
  12. Go to a concert
  13. Go to a museum we have never been to before
  14. Read and study The Book of Mormon all the way through
  15. Try a new restaurant 
  16. Try a new food 
  17. Make a fun YouTube video 
  18. Play Dungeons and Dragons
  19. Participate in a charity walk
  20. Ride a train 
  21. Get my passport
  22. Build a blanket fort for in home movie night
  23. See a play or a musical
  24. Visit my Alma Mater
  25. Visit the city Sean and I first lived in as a married couple
  26. Go to a marching band competition
  27. Make something to donate to Primary Children’s Medical Center
  28. Learn to code
  29. Sing Karaoke
  30. Have a game night party with friends

 

Thankfully I’ve already got some of these set up like my pile of books I want to read. I’ll make sure to update you all at the end of the year with my adventures, but if you want to follow along in the meantime, go ahead and start following me on Instagram. My Instagram name is @2marriedgeeks and I’ll be using the hashtag #Jessica30before30

Now for the best part. If you want to do your own 30 before 30, here is the checklist that you can download for FREE to write down your own thirty before thirty list that you’d like to do.

Excuse my tired eyes but I just read goodnight moo Excuse my tired eyes but I just read goodnight moon in Korean for the first time! Did I understand it all? Not so much but it helps I know the English one by heart. 😹 it also took so long Marvel was really yawning at the end. I never thought I’d be learning Korean but I’m so glad I am! I love the language and the challenge it presents! And doing it with my kids is even better! I’m glad I found @talkboxmom to help us in this endeavor. Check out the link in my bio so you can learn a language with your family too!

It helps to hear some words and phrases we’ve learned from @talkboxmom in different places. (Plus if they’re going to be watching tv having it educational like this is a bonus!) if you want to learn a language with your family in an engaging way, where you’ll actually talk and use it since day one, check out the link in my bio for TalkBox.Mom! #learnkorean #pinkfong #foreignlanguage #speakkoreanlikekorean #speakkorean #learnforeignlanguages #talkboxmom #talkboxmomkorean

Only problem was @msmarcelinecinderella was done about 5 minutes in. She does not like the cold. @msmarveljessica loved it. They really are like mini Anna and Elsa!

As the year is coming to an end, I wanted to highl As the year is coming to an end, I wanted to highlight something I’m very proud of. 

You see, I used to be an avid reader. I read ALL the time. Like the kid who would stay up way past her bedtime and being a book wherever I went sort of thing. 

One of the realizations for me that I was suffering from anxiety and depression was that I barely read anymore. Like I could count on one hand usually how many books I’d read in a year. And this devastated me because it was and is something I love. 

This year, like others, I made the goal to read more. Didn’t matter what kinds of books or if it was fanfiction. I knew I just needed to read. I got a kindle paperwhite and that plus my AirPods that I got (I count listening as reading because sometimes that’s all I can do), and my meds, helped me to do more. 

When I got this notebook a few months ago, I listed what I’d read and the sight of it makes me so happy to look at. They’re not in chronological order but for next year I will do it that way. 

A lot of these books too have been advanced readers copies! And that’s been really fun to read and review those and I’ll continue to do so.

My (sometimes) angel practicing her Korean. I trie My (sometimes) angel practicing her Korean. I tried speaking to her in French but she was stubborn and wanted to speak what she wanted to speak 😹 I can’t complain though because the fact she’s learning an Uber complicated language like Korean makes me proud!

Ten years ago today I married my best friend. I kn Ten years ago today I married my best friend. I know that’s cliche to say but he is my person. He is my positive when I can only think of the negatives in my life. He makes me laugh (and I thankfully make him laugh too!) and I love the family we have created. Even though times are tough and we’ve been hit by many imperial cruisers in our life, we make it through.

Today was my birthday. 33! Sadly I did not get to Today was my birthday. 33! Sadly I did not get to fulfill my dream of going to Club 33 for my birthday but I did order cheesecake from @juniorscheesecake through @goldbelly and it was divine! My brother @barney_bro is in the pic with me because his birthday is 2 days after mine. For basically our whole lives we’ve always celebrated together and I am so glad we did it (safely) this year too! He’s the best birthday buddy ❤️
