30 Before 30

I turned 27 on February sixth of this year.  With less then three years before thirty I have created a list (inspired by others who have done the same) of thirty things I would like to complete by the time I am thirty.  I tried to select things that were relatively reasonable, measurable, and fun. Here is what I came up with....

30 Before 30

1. Get a master's degree (currently enrolled in school and have about 13 months to go before I receive a master's degree in special education)
2. Get my teaching credential (taken all the standardized tests, and working on my moderate/severe special education credential) 
3. Get married (engaged as of last July and planning a wedding for next May!)
4. Learn lindy hop
5. start a college savings account for Jeffrey (my handsome 6 month old son)
6. pay off credit card.... completely
7. learn to sew
8. take a cooking class
9. hike half dome (scheduled for this summer but honestly I am not really looking forward to it.. sounds hard.)
10. see grand canyon
11. complete a half marathon
12. learn a musical instrument (this one might be a stretch)

21. organize a fundraiser
