30 Things to do Before I Turn 30!
Without revealing my exact age (because that’s creepy, and I worry about people knowing too much personal info), let’s just say I’m in my 20s and have some years before I hit 30…
And because I love lists! Lists of books to read, things to get done around the house, pretties to make…
I plan to list my 30 goals and then keep you posted on my progress via this page as I accomplish and cross off each one! If you’d like to join me and make your own list that would be AWESOME! Just tweet me the link to your list so I can follow along with YOUR progress too! @kassarie Any age milestone will work by the way! It doesn’t have to be 30!

24. Go on a sisters retreat with my sisters in law and Kayli.
25. Take an anniversary/honeymoon trip with the mister. We didn’t go anywhere for our honeymoon!
It took us until September 2012, but we finally went on a just for us anniversary trip!! We went to Scottsdale, AZ and stayed a night at The Saguaro Resort. We did some shopping (hubs got a new cowboy hat, I got new jeans), chose fun places to eat out (like Famous Dave’s BBQ, SO GOOD!) and we went swimming in their super nice pool.
We also spent a few hours walking around Old Town Scottsdale and bought some dreams catchers for the niece and nephew (they’ve really been wanting one since they first saw the one I have). LOTS of fun! I really, really recommend taking a trip, even just a quick overnight-er, with just your significant other. So good for both of us!
26. Make a budget and stick to it for at least a full month!
27. Get together a full 72 hour Emergency Preparedness Kit.
28. Pay off my credit card!
29. Become a mommy.
In July of 2013 little miss Klara Beth blessed our lives beyond measure! I am so thrilled and lucky to be her mommy!
30. Plan and throw a big 30th birthday bash!
I’m visiting from Kathy’s blog. You are making good progress on your list! I only gave myself 1 year for my 30 before 30, and I got all but 4 done or something. Now I’m just trying to finish my 30 before 30 before my 101 in 1001 list runs out! We’ll see how that goes. Your new house is super cute.
Thanks for the visit Laura! Sounds like you had a busy 29th year! That’s the fun of it though, right!? 🙂
Good for you Kassi! A lot of people your age (not that I know what that is) are still renting. You’re very lucky you were able to purchase a home of your own. I’m so happy for you. Build A Bear sounds like fun!
Thanks Laurie!! We are so blessed to have our home. I can’t wait to make a Build a Bear.. always wanted to! 😉
fun! i’ve never made one of these lists before, but now I think I want to try!!! hmmmm what to put on my list 😛
You really should!!! We have a 20 wishes link up going all the time that coincides with this list a little bit if you’d like to join us! https://trulylovelyblog.net/category/twenty-wishes/
Great list I am 31 and still working on most of what is on your list. Good job and keep it up.
Haha well thanks! I’m working on several as we speak!
