Thirty By 30 (Submission from Heather)

Well, since I don’t know you I don’t really know if any of my suggestions can be helpful, but I’ll throw out a few things for you anyway:

Bring your parents to dinner or make them dinner.

Do something physically adenturous, like rock climbing, sky diving, mountain biking.

Travel somewhere you’ve never been but always have wanted to go.

Pay for someone’s meal at a restaraunt that you don’t know. 

Take up a new hobby.

I have a bucketlist of a 100 things. It might give you some ideas as well! :) http://hssummers.blogspot.com/2011/04/heather-dirt.html

Thirty by 30, What’s that?

I turned twenty nine years old last month, and with the 3-0 coming up I’ve been thinking a lot about milestones and how we only have so long to soak up this fascinating world around us.

While I realize 29 seems like a spring chicken to some people. It’s the oldest I’ve ever been. So please hold your snarky remarks.

Fascinating World

I thought it might be fun to put together a list of 30 life experiences to check off by the time I turn 30 (sort of a bucket list, minus all the wrinkles.)

To quote another Morgan Freeman-ism “Get Busy Living, or Get Busy Dying.” Right?

Here’s the deal. I need your help. I’ve put together a starting list, but rather than coming up with all of them on my own I’d love your suggestions. In fact, I’d love to check them off the list with you.

So please, click here to suggest something fun, crazy, wild, amazing, or otherwise awesome that you think is a must do life experience.

Let the adventures begin,

John
