Things to do Before I'm 30...(Part 1)

This summer, while contemplating leaving my summer job, my friend Jen sent me this link: Things Every Woman Should Have and Know Before She's 30. Mostly, because I had never officially quit a job before. All the jobs I had in the past were jobs that ended because I graduated or summer came to an end: the job in the church office, the job at my high school's office, my summer jobs at a local tv and radio station, and my most favorite college job. I've held my teaching position now for over 6 years, but my summer job was one that I needed to leave for many reasons that don't matter for my purposes here. The fact that Jen sent me this link is what I meant to write about, so I have digressed quite a bit, whoops!

Anyway, quitting a job before I turned thirty became a mission. And I made it, with 6 months to spare. And as Joe and I consider the future with little ones our bucket list for "before kids" began to coincide with my "before 30" bucket list.

So tonight, I conquered another item on my list, that maybe I didn't realize was on my list.

I tried sashimi.

"WHAT?!" you say?

Yes, yes, I did. And I liked it. And might even eat it again. It looked yummy on Joe's plate so I said, "I think I'd like to try that before you feed it to the turtles at home." And I took my chopsticks and I did. A tiny piece of tuna and a tinier piece of salmon.

Meanwhile, this got me thinking about what else I'd like to accomplish before I'm thirty here in a few short months (seriously, where did this year even go?!)

While I don't have a solid bucket list, I'm sure I'll be adding to it....

So far:

1. Quit a job.
2. Try sashimi.
3. Think of other things I'd like to do before I'm thirty.
