30 Before 30 OFFICIAL Update

In May 2010, I created this list of 30 things to accomplish before I turn 30. Here is a brief update on my very select few accomplishments in the 6 months since I made these goals. Afterall, I had quite a busy summer this year! Hopefully this will keep me motivated enough to continue working towards my goals... thank goodness for 3 1/2 more years to get them done! :) 

1. Get married! Goal complete! Andy and I officially became 'The Saulitis' on July 31, 2010. It was the most perfect wedding day a girl could have possibly dreamed of!
2. Climb Old Rag mountain
3. Coach a high school sports team, preferably girls soccer or girls volleyball
4. Go camping for a weekend
5. Rent an RV and travel to a Virginia Tech football game
6. Go to Europe for the second time
7. Swim with dolphins
8. Drive across the United States
9. Cut my hair short even though it terrifies me: Done & done! I chopped off about 6-7 inches of my beautiful long, blonde hair in early October. It was cut a little shorter than I had anticipated, but I'm learning to enjoy my new 'look'.
10. Go to Australia and see the koala bears
11. Eat Sushi for the first time: Complete! I went out to celebrate my best friend Lindsay's 27th birthday at a local sushi restaurant and had my first sushi rolls! I'm not sure it will ever be my favorite meal, but there was one kind of roll that was pretty delicious! I'd definitely do it again!
12. Get a dog (or two!) that is me and Andy's pet and not our parents' (although we love you Nittany & Riley!)
13. Watch my friends fall as happily in love as I am and attend their weddings
14. Watch all of the movies currently in my Netflix queue
15. Learn to cook well, not just make dinner

17. Go to an NFL Super Bowl 
18. Go to a National Championship Game in college football
19. Run an official 5k
20. Learn how to not kill plants
21. Send a photo Christmas card: In the works. Andy and I are scouring the internet looking for our first official photo christmas card from the newlyweds :)
22. Buy a townhouse or single-family home
23. Save enough money to keep our condo and rent it
24. Buy a new car 
25. Go on a winery tour bus with my best friends
26. Get involved with the Girls On The Run program at the elementary school I work at
27. Give a toast at a special event
28. Continue to take trips with my amazing parents
29. Host a formal family dinner at my home
30. Begin the journey of becoming a mom

That's my progress so far in a quick 6 months. Hopefully I'll pick up the pace and begin to really delve into this list of goals :) Happy goal-getting!
