The Jensen Book List

With my 30 before 30 list I have #2 as: Read all the Jensen outlet books. I thought everyone would like to know which books that is making me read. Keep in mind that at the Outlet store you get to fill a grocery bag full of books so after so many you just start throwing books in since they are free to you anyway. I got about 28 books for 7 bucks. You can't beat that! And have gone a few more times since. Jensen's book is now only on line and periodically rents a building to sell books so now I can't rush over to get more. I think this is a good thing sometimes... 

Now for the all awaiting list!

30 before 30 update

 I thought that it was about time to update the 30 before 30 list as to what I have done and what still needs to be done. My birthday is in a few weeks so that means one year down 3 more to go.
The List:
 1:  Learn to play 3 songs on the piano.- I have learned 2 songs. I'm a child of god and I lived in heaven. I don't want all my songs to be church songs but that's what I have had success with.
2: Read all Jensen outlet books go here to see list
3: Get back to pre-baby weight, then -10 pounds- I am no where close to this one! But Andrew and I have made a goal to look our best in June when one of his friends in Reno gets married.
4: Go to Washington D.C.- Sadly not yet but we DO need to see Heather in Maryland right?
5: Paint front room and bedroom- Boys bedroom is all painted and decorated!
6: Stop late night sweets. Nothing after 9- I was good with this for a couple of months. I need to get back on the wagon!
7: Organize pictures-
8: Get Andrew back to the D.R.- Not in the works yet either....I really hope we can do it!
9: Re learn French and better than before- Bonjour. ok done! j/k I need to get focused on this!
10: Make decorations for all Holidays- Halloween is done! I have the cutest display in my front room! as seen here
11: Learn to dance with Husband- The problem with this one is that it's hard to catch any extra time with him. I will have to find a class or something!
12: Do my Continuing Education points for AAMA- I have 2 book right now that is worth 18 CEP. I only need to get 60....I just need time!
13: Go water skiing- Didn't make it to a lake this year. Next for sure!
14: Catch a fish- Once again never made it to a lake
15: Finish Prereq courses for Nursing- This one will be ridiculous to even try and start! Andrew's schedule is so full I couldn't even try and take classes.. :( I am sad I have already failed one but I'll count it if i start taking them so we'll see!
16: Make a full outfit for myself, by myself.- I just finished my Rogue costume (pics to follow) sadly doesn't count but i bought patterns. Now I just need black friday to come so I can save money!
17: Finish a crossword puzzle- Unsure why i put this on! I guess because I just finished watching All About Steve. I'm going to hate trying to get this one done!
18: Go rock climbing- not yet
19: Participate in a musical/play- next year?
20: Jump into a lake by way of rope- Man I need a LAKE!
21: Know my City of Smithfield- Getting better but still need to check out the few shops here.
22: Go to stand up comedy night- not yet :(
23: Finish Wedding scrapbook- I made one for my sister does that count? no, well then no.
24: Visit a haunted house- Oh man I forgot about this one! I have been to haunted houses before but I mean a real life one not one with silly costumes. so no to this one.
25: Learn to drive stick- nope
26: Experience a meteor shower-no
27: Figure out how to put on make up that looks good- Starting on this and think I'm close to what I like thanks to the 8 dollars off 2 products Covergirl had in the newspaper!
28: Build a sand structure or snow structure  (and it actually looks like what it should)- Coming this winter
29: Finish my 18,000 piece puzzle.- Start maybe after Christmas ?
30: Visit and do work in every temple in Utah. List here

The last 30 before 30 goal!

I thought long and hard what do have as the last, #30 thing to be and it has been decided. I thought of everything and considered the suggestions given, even the running one! Wow, I must really love comments :)
Now originally i thought of increasing my vocab, and told some of you that is what it was. That is no longer the case and anyhow, how would I be able to accomplish that goal? It's never ending!
Drum roll please..............

I decided that I would visit every temple in Utah before I turn 30, and not just visit but do some work at each one as well. This could be a very hard goal seeing how we keep getting new ones and right now my number is at 2. The Logan and St. George temples. I think that this will better myself and my husband because let's face it he will accomplish this goal right along side of me! So there you go all 30. If you need a refresher to the rest of the list click here.

30 before 30

I saw this on a few blogs and thought is was a great idea. Sadly i will be turning 30 within 5 years, and as Andrew so nicely pointed out, we will still be in Smithfield when I do and have a 6 year old! Needless to say I was feeling old about that! So I am working on compiling a list of 30 things I would like to get done before I turn the BIG 30. So here is the list:
1:  Learn to play 3 songs on the piano.
2: Read all Jensen outlet books
3: Get back to pre-baby weight, then -10 pounds
4: Go to Washington D.C.
5: Paint front room and bedroom
6: Stop late night sweets. Nothing after 9
7: Organize pictures

10: Make decorations for all Holidays
11: Learn to dance with Husband
12: Do my Continuing Education points for AAMA
13: Go water skiing
14: Catch a fish
15: Finish Prereq courses for Nursing
16: Make a full outfit for myself, by myself.
17: Finish a crossword puzzle

I need help figuring out my last one. It needs to be something that doesn't cost a lot. I mean come on we are in Grad school here, and I would like it to be something that would be interesting and fun to do so sorry no sky driving too expensive! Any suggestions would help me a lot on my quest!
