30 Before 30 Update


It's been over 6 months since I've updated my list of 30 things I'd like to accomplish by age 30, and with the recent passing of my 27th birthday (and a mere 3 years to complete my list!), here goes:

  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. Complete! I am excited to begin my new journey as an assistant volleyball coach at a local high school this summer and fall!
  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 it's growing back surely if not slowly :)
  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!
  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: In progress. Andy and I are attending a combined 6 weddings this summer/fall! I am so excited for all of our great friends beginning their forever's and am anxiously anticipating the rest to follow soon!
  14. Watch all of the movies currently in my Netflix queue
  15. Learn to cook well, not just make dinner
  16. Visit Mikaela in Maine and eat a real Maine lobster
  17. Go to an NFL Super Bowl 
  18. Go to a National Championship Game in college football
  19. Run an official 5k. I completed my first official 5K in May 2011 at my alma mater, Annandale High School. I finished the 3.2 miles in 27:32. Not too shabby for my first official race!
  20. Learn how to not kill plants
  21. Send a photo Christmas card. Done. Andy and I sent our first photo Christmas greeting this past winter, including pictures from our wedding and honeymoon.
  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. Still going strong :) My parents, Andy and myself will be traveling to the Bahamas in a short week and a half for our annual family vacay getaway!
  29. Host a formal family dinner at my home
  30. Begin the journey of becoming a mom
So far, so good. Hopefully I'll knock a few more off my list during the summer months! :)
