it's always good to have short term goals but i think i've been neglecting some making some long-term plans. i saw a list by oh happy day about 30 things to do before she turned 30 and i thought i'd give myself around 1,552 days to accomplish these things!
1. have another baby (haha.. not SOON but yes, i'd like another before 30- we'll see if nic agrees :)
2. travel someplace warm & foreign.
3. learn how to letterpress- buy a press if we're able.
4. take classes on crafty things/learn how to really sew & alter clothes (like Melissa- she's my idol)
5. make new friends and denver and make lots of time to see friends new & old there.
6. SAVE!
7. continue our quest to live small & as minimal as possible.
8. run a marathon.
9. read good books (and the scriptures too)
10. do something fun with daphne everyday.
11. keep a cleaner house.
12. see some cities in the US we want to visit: NYC, boston, portland, chicago, austin, and of course go to san francisco as often as possible.
13. get the bus all fixed up (new engine) and beautifully restored.
14. write a popular blog like Gabby.
15. be closer with my siblings.
16. go a vacation just with nic.
17. go camping as often as we can.
18. explore denver- don't just go to the same places we already love.
19. plant a garden
20. eat new food- be adventurous.
21. buy the perfect gifts for people- plan ahead.
22. start or join a joy school or baby sitting co-op
23. don't care that you're renting- decorate the house like it's yours.
24. organize our massive expedit bookshelf.
25. go canoeing & kayaking
26. go on a just nic (and daphne if we need to:) date night at least twice a month. we used to be so good about this EVERY week but we've been getting together with friends many weekends now- so i'd like to get back to it :)
27. be a supportive, caring and nurturing wife & mother.
28. volunteer.
29. yoga. lots of yoga.

Good list! I am obsessed with lists and you know I will make one too. Sorry I always steal from your blog. You are that cool!
that is not stealing! and if it is.. i stole it from someone too! yay! can't wait to read your list lady!
Oh I like the idea of some short-term goals...I am so stealing your idea! But I don't feel so bad since you copied it yourself;)
I like your list! Maybe I will make one!
Love this idea, I'm totally going to make one of my own! I'll only have about 4 years to get them done...good luck and keep us posted on how you're doing with them!
You are so lucky to have so many years to accomplish all this BEFORE you turn 30. Good luck and have fun.
ps. We had the (new) Denver crew together last night at Mom's--10 kids and 8 adults--and we totally missed you guys. It will be fun to have the Binghams join the madness next year. (Oh, and madness is putting it in a complementary fashion)
