I am a lover of Jesus Christ. I believe in the power of words. I find strength in love and I am driven by my purpose in life. I have two little boys who are my world. And, I blog about them too. I'd like to call myself a professional photographer (you can check out my website HERE) but the truth is, I just love to take pictures. This blog is my way of documenting it all and, hopefully, telling my story one photo at a time.

MY 30 BEFORE 30

 

07.08.11

I'm getting OLD. Or maybe I should say old-ER! In exactly four hundred and seventy-six days I'll be celebrating my thirtieth birthday. Holy Cow (I never, ever say that but I felt it was so necessary so again I say, Holy Cow). The best part of getting older is all of the life experiences you are now OLD enough to participate in, while I believe the worst part is looking back on all the things you have yet to accomplish. If there is one thing that I have learned for sure in my last 28 years its the important of setting goals and deadlines. So I figured i would jump on the bandwagon and draw up my own 30 before 30. My list of 30 things that I would love to accomplish before turning the big 3-0!

 

1.Complete my family cookbook

2.Learn the art of Chinese cooking (or just make a couple dishes that the hubs is crazy for)

3.Take the boys to FAO Schwartz

4.Publish my first magazine

5.Publish my first children's book

6.Pay off credit card & hospital debt

7.Have someone else take our family photos

8.Finish my Baby Story

9.Learn to sew

10.Launch my children's clothing line

11.Build my Family/Children's Portfolio

12.Learn to make quiche

13.Take a trip to California

14.Become an advocate for an amazing cause

15.Read 10 books from start to finish (all children's books are excluded :)

16.Attend a photography workshop

17.Get published in a Children's magazine

18.Have breakfast/lunch/dinner with 15 different friends

19.Write a detailed list of 10 places I want to travel and 5 things I must do at each place

20.Run a marathon

21.Take a cooking class with the hubs

22.Visit my mommy with the boys

23.Have a picnic in the park

24.Interview my grandparents and record it

25.Plan an awesome 3-0 birthday bash

26.Start a photo collage for the boys (one photo a week)

27.Craft a keepsake for the boys

28.Build & finish my design inspiration for all rooms in my dream house

30.Make something special for 5 of my favorite people.

 

Of course as I check things off my 30/30 I'll be blogging about my accomplishment and doing a happy dance *here*! Anyone else have a 30 before 30 or 40 before 40 or even a 20 before 20 for all you young bucks out there?

 

B-T-DUB (by the way), if you can help me cross any of these off of my list a little faster... please feel free to let a sista know. HollaAAAA!

XoXo,

Syreena
