Let's do this twenty nine!
I love everything on this list. All sound do-able if you just stay focused! I may even tke some of these ideas for 27 before 27?
ReplyDeletei should start on a list for 40. because I might get one thing done a year by then. maybe I should call it 10 things by 40. ha ha. i like your list!
ReplyDeleteGoal weight and baby in your belly can happen at the same time if you puke as much as I did. Don't you love twofers!?
ReplyDeleteI love this list Kate! Good luck and happy checking off the listing!
this is a great list. and babe in your belly! yahooo!
ReplyDeletecan i come to the grand canyon with you? i've been before but have been wanting to take another trip.
These are great goals! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYour mini cooper goal is my favorite. That sounds like fun!
ReplyDeletei want to go to the grand canyon with you too. i smell a blogger retreat! haha.
ReplyDeletebut this list is wonderful and i can't wait for #30.
kate, i've never been to the grand canyon either.
ReplyDeletei love this list so much. can i do some of them with you? i mean. with you through the internet? or just try my best to achieve the greatness?
I want to do good.
and you are good.

I'm so excited for you! I'm loving number 30 especially...we too are thinking babe in the belly next year! Wahoo! You can do all of these things...I just know it!
ReplyDeletei love this list! you can totally do it.
ReplyDeleteand the grand canyon is breathtaking. more beautiful than you can imagine...
and a baby, eh? i like the sound of that!
Hey, we can help you make your own freezer jam when we are there next week if you want. I have to say that I am most excited about your #30. Good luck, can't wait to see you guys in a week.
ReplyDeleteLove the list! So many adventures for you coming up - it's exciting! Great idea. As usual!
ReplyDeleteI love your list! Some of them will have to be on my list..some I've done and some I'm not brave enough to try (no spend-month!).
ReplyDeleteGood luck on them all (especially the scary one on the bottom...having a child is the most amazing experience I've been lucky enough to have).
Oh, and if you need an old-hat timbers army fan then I'd totally go to a game and teach you a few of the chants!
Fantastic list! And of course the baby one excited me. Thats a big deal!
ReplyDeleteAlso,Yoga is awesome. I just recently tried it for the first time.
That reminds me that I need to do it more.
totally stealing some of these. and might i suggest completing #3 before #30... even though #30 is our favorite ; )
ReplyDeleteI love your list. What a good idea. It's more fun then New Years Resolutions, anyway. I cannot wait to see pictures of your beautiful babies someday. I do yoga sometimes in the safety of my own living room. I'm so very bad at it, but it feels great.
ReplyDeleteIf you are coming to St. George over Christmas I would really love to see your beautiful face. I'm not a best virtual friend these days but I do check in and think of you often.
babe in the belly!!!! holy shit... like literally... to see any of us as a parent is carazy!! To me we are all still 12. But my dear, you will be an amazing mother, I can't wait to see how adorable you will be preggers, and how cool you and Graham will be as parents!!! Oh, and Grandma Bess's noodles... can you master those in say one month???
ReplyDeleteLove the comments and how excited everyone is (including me) with the idea of number 30. Yay! You will be a cute mama someday, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH! I love your goal number 30! Babe in your belly. I have baby fever so badly but at 29 I'm still freaked out by it and not yet ready!!
