30 before 30

So, I'll be 30 in eight months, and it's SO hard to believe that it's going to be here before I know it! I seriously feel like my birthday was just yesterday, but it's already been almost four months since my birthday!

I've come up with a list of things that I want to do before I'm 30, so I'm sharing it with you all, and I'll share my updates/accomplishments on the blog as I complete them!

1.) Run a 5K Color Run --> Planned for October 5th in Augusta
2.) Take a romantic, tropical vacation with my husband --> Planning for Spring 2014 for my 30th and our 5th Wedding Anniversary
3.) Throw a party for my 30th birthday
4.) Host a Christmas party at our home
5.) Run a 10K
6.) Own a pair of Tory Burch flats
7.) Own a MK bag
8.) Decide where Weston will go to Pre-K/Kindergarten --> So, I know that this isn't big and not really related to me, but this is an area that I'm agonizing over! Please pray for me during this decision!
9.) Have a "Red Cup Day" with my mom and sister
10.) Lose weight and tone up...get back where I want/need to be for me! I'm working hard on this one! :)
