It's been awhile since I shared an update on my 30 before 30 list. And the big day is coming up faster that I realized. A lot has happened this year!

• The first thing is that I finally got my portfolio up! Yey! And it's perfect timing because as soon as I did that I actually ended up going freelance. Perfect timing, right?

• I am working on crossing a few new things off my list: reading more, meditating more, taking more pictures (thanks instagram!) and writing more handwritten notes.

• Lastly, the mister and I are moving in together in a month! Eeeexciting! But, I am sad to say that because of the new lease agreement, my number 1 on the list, getting a dog, is not looking like it's going to happen before September, since we can't have pets in the new place. But someday...

More to come.

It's taken about a month since my 29th birthday and to get my list of things I'd like to accomplish before I turn 30. But with no further ado, here it is (in no particular order):

get a dog
learn calligraphy
read more
lose 10 lbs (and keep it off)
PR in a race
learn to knit
take voice lessons
get my 2nd tattoo
freelance a job that is fun to design
get new portfolio up
learn to basic html/css
minimize the "stuff" in my life (aka clutter)
bake more
make Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon
journal regularly
take more pictures
draw/paint more
make some jewelry
strength train 2-3 times a week
do more yoga
buy less stuff
travel somewhere I have not been
do something nice anonymously
surf
charity work
buy something from Lululemon (I know this is contradictory to number 21, but don't care)
write more handwritten notes
be more calm and patient
mediate more
wake up and watch the sunrise with someone I love

I realized it had been a while since I posted, and my good friend Lauren and I are going to get tattoos tonight after work. I will share pictures next week. Which made me realize I had this list of 30 before 30 that I never posted. So, with this post, number 8 is nearly scratched off the list :)
