35 Before 35

//As my 31st Birthday is around the corner, I thought of doing a 35 Before 35, since I missed the whole 30 one.  35 Things to do before age 35. Sort of a less dramatic bucket list, but still things that I've wanted to do. Here goes... in no order what so ever...


1. Run a marathon.
2. Visit Canada
3. Read at least a book a month for a year.
4. Try every single Teavana tea they have on that lovely wall.
5. Cut down TV time to 2 hours per day. Listen to Christian music instead for background noise.Music part is done!

8. Participate in a craft fair of sorts.
9. Go to a blogger conference.
10. Have the perfect eyebrows!
11. Memorize at least 50 Bible scriptures that mean the most to me.

17. Learn how to make fresh pasta
18. Make a cookbook- for friends, not going to me a millionaire off this one!

  1. I love this and you know i could help you out with a few of these when i come visit. Firstly you can explore Chicago as a tourist with me, plus hopefully come to New York, and if you're up for it I'm heading down to New Orleans by train from Chicago for a couple of days before heading to New York so you should join me :)

    2. Kate, how did you find a train from Chicago to New Orleans? I've looked, but all say they stop in Memphis and then you have to take a bus the rest of the way. Buses here aren't like those overseas. There are some REALLY shady characters here. :)

  2. I totally want to run a marathon. I may start off walking and run to the finish line though.

    BTW I tried to reply your comment from my blog but your are a no reply blogger. You can fix that by going into your blogger profile and making your email visible. That way when you reply on someones blog post they can email you back with a reply.

    Happy Weekend Friend!!

  3. Charity, I'm with you on that one! I could only walk it right now, but hopefully within the next 5 years I will be able to! And thank you, I had no idea about the no reply thing. I followed your instructions, and it should work now. Hope you have a great weekend!!
