My friend did this inspiring blog post about 30 things she wants to do before she's 30, which is in a year-she's to include loved ones in the process, and bring God along the journey..
Her list inspired me to make a list of 12 things I want to do before we have kids... So let's see...
The Twelve things
1. Go on a trip with Jason (missions trip, NYC, Europe)
2. Make a scrapbook of me and Jay's second year of marriage
3. Take a sister trip to San Francisco
4. Go out country line dancing with my best friend 5. Go horseback riding
6. Read one book just for fun or because it's interesting (ie: not textbook)
7. Go to an open mic night
8. Go big for my mom's 50th birthday
9. Learn to bake some gluten free desserts (red velvet cake, cupcakes)
10. worship with Phil Wickham live
11. host a block party/continue to get to know our neighbors
12.****(for number 12 I want your suggestions!)****

13. Take a mini road trip

i love that you wanna play too :) that makes me happy!!!! thanks for your encouragement. i'm not stopping till i'm done!
number 12: Go skinny dipping! There is no better way to celebrate your body. Feel confident to bare it all!
Hahaha Kandis, I haven't gone skinny dipping since we were lil!! That would be funny, hmm I don't have a pool??? Ocean maybe???
Hey Miss Kimi - I thought this was quite a funny post. I know how you feel, but let me just say as a mommy already that you really can do all those things with a baby too! Open mic night? Really? Babysitters, grandparents...it's doable! You do have to plan a bit more but it is worth it to stay yourself while being a good mommy too. It is nowhere near the end of the world and being able to share things with your little one - like Christmas time this year, yoga, coloring, coffee shops, collaging - is ten times better than just doing it alone! Oh and for gluten free cooking... there is a great gluten free website where I get my recipes from - elanaspantry.com - very good and very easy. Oh and BabyCakes is an excellent allergen free bakery that has a recipe book they just printed get yourself down to Borders and look it up...sometimes you just have to do things!
Hi Sarah!!! Thanks for your mommy encouragement, especially the part about how much fun those things are with your child and not doing it alone. It is so good to hear from you! And I have enjoyed looking at your photos on facebook of Mia, hubby and you and your new home in London! Congratulations!
