Crossin' things off my list

I originally started this blog to complete my 30 by 30 list-- a list of things I wanted to complete by the time I'm 30. Slowly but surely, things are getting crossed off! So, for your viewing pleasure--an update!

#8- Get eye sugery- I have had glasses since the summer before second grade and they have gotten increasingly worse every year. Because of this constant prescription changing, I don't qualify for eye surgery. But, on the bright side, my prescription got better! I have to change my glasses, order new contacts and all of that is cheaper now that I have better eyes! Hooray!



Not my best work, but I thought I should prove that I could do it!



#10 Volunteer regularly- I do a decent job of this. During the school year I read with a 5th grader regularly at an elementary school. Additionally, I started coaching for a program called Girls on the Run. We work with girls in 3rd - 5th grades (I have 22!) and teach them healthy ways (running) to deal with problems rather than bottling it up or using other methods. We are confidence builders!

#25 Learn to french braid- This is kind of a silly one but I could never braid weaving IN... only weaving OUT. The braid looked like it was sitting on my head instead of weaved into my hair. So... I taught myself to do it!

#27 Complete the family tree- While a fmily tree could go on forever, I traced my ancestry back to the 1500s! Thank, ancestry.com!
