New 30 by 30

It was pointed out by one of my friends the other day who is just a few weeks older than I am, that we will be 30 in about four months. Yikes! This got me thinking about my 30 by 30 list that I wrote when I turned 28. When I wrote that list, I was planning on moving to California for graduate school. As you all know, I decided not to move to California (or New Orleans) and stayed in Utah to work on going to nursing school but my list was full of things that would have either required that I lived in California or spent a really long vacation there (or many shorter ones). Since none of those things are going to happen, I wrote a new list (but I left some items). Here it is with my progress:

1.  1.Finish most pre-requisites for nursing school (I need to retake anatomy in the spring and then I'll mostly be done)
2.      Narrow down nursing school choices (find the low-standard schools... Thanks biology courses!)
3.       Visit Moab (not sure when, especially since it's cold now)
4.       Have a relationship (working on this one... may happen soon! or not... haha)
5.      Reach my goal weight (I've been gaining but I don't want to be 30, single, and fat)
6.         Do family history (need to work on this)
7.     Do temple work for my family (I have some names I've had baptized, but I need to do the rest)
8.      Get a smart phone of some type (our contract is up on the 14th!!!!) 
9.        Get a manicure (I actually had this done for my brothers wedding a couple of weeks ago)
10.         Get a pedicure (how hard could it be?)
11.      Give up soda (I've cut back a lot recently, just need to give it up completely) 
12.     Go to a golfing driving range (will need to do this soon since it's getting cold)
13.         Do my visiting teaching on a monthly basis (I still suck at this) 
14.     Bake a cheesecake 
15.     Make eggplant parmesan (It's too bad I didn't do this when we still had our own eggplant and tomatoes)
16.     Hike to the Block U (also need to do this soon)
17.     Get a clinical job somewhere (working on this one) 
18.     Become a CNA (I achieved this in September) 
19.     Have a professional massage (again)
20.       Learn how to make my Mom’s sugar cookies
21.        Exercise 5 days a week
22.     Spend less time on Facebook (I deactivated my account for a few days since it was such a huge distraction!) 
23.        Read Ender’s Game (Saw the movie last night and would like to read the book. My mom owns a copy)
24.         Purchase tickets to Yankee stadium (Pretty sure Derek Jeter's last year will be next year and I really want to see him play in Yankee stadium)
25.        Get rid of boxes (or at least out of my room) that I don’t need anymore (the ones I brought back from Denver. It's been over three years... Time to give up the dream!)
26.        Watch all X-Men movies (this will probably happen soon)
27.        Attend a Yoga class again (I kind of miss it...)
28.         Eat at The Melting Pot downtown (I've always wanted to! If I ever make #4 happen, this one may coincide!) 
29.         Eat at The Garden in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building (read response for #28)
30.         Read scriptures daily (I try to read at least a verse or two every night but I mean read a chapter) 

      So there it is! Hopefully I can manage to cross them all off! I have accomplished a few so I didn't completely waste the last two years...
