33 before 33

Well I wrote this post last year right before my birthday and I figure since it has just passed, I should take a look at how things progressed with the list... I obviously never got 33 additional things added, so we will be able to add a few additional accomplishmets that could possibly hit the number! 


As I mentioned in my last post, I am going to make a list of 33 things to do before I turn 33... as of now, I don't have a full list, so this will be an ongoing, and updated post. As I think of things to add on, I will put them on the list and as I accomplish things, I will mark them off, and possibly write another post about each one. I guess it is just a little way to keep the year interesting.


If you have any thoughts or ideas, please feel free to make comments as I obviously need to get to 33!


So without further ado.. here it is... The start of 33 things to accomplish before I turn 33.

1. Go to trapeze school - still didn't make this one but i am going to try it!!!!! I did jump off a large rock in Maui, which did take me out of my comfort zone!
2. Run two 10 milers and one half marathon (or any combo of 33 miles of races) The math may not add up correctly but i did participate in my first olympic distance triathon - which was 24 on the bike, a mile swim and 6.2 for the run... I will take the tri and say I accompolished that goal!
3. Go to the movies by myself I did not just go to one movie by myself, I acutally went to three! I can't remember what they were but I know I enjoyed them 
4. Travel Internationally (this one is easy - I already booked a trip to BONAIRE for October!) Although I missed the trip to Bonaire in October because of my new job, I did go to the Bahamas over Labor Day and that does count as international. More impressivly, I went on two spectacular trips to Hawaii - one in August and one in April and they were hands down the best trips of my life. 
5. Travel by Myself I am proud of myself for doing this - I traveled to Hawaii in August by myself and had one of the best vacations of my life. I was able to find myself in Maui and it has become a very special place in my heart and I hope to be able to visit or live there one day. 
6. Start and finish Divemaster Course Start, finish and PASSED! It took a little longer than expected because of my traveling but i got it done. 
7. Start IDC I am MOST proud of this for not only starting this, but finishing it BEFORE my birthday. I am proud of myself and very excited about my future as a PADI Insturctor. I may not have won BDJ but I did get and work toward it. And i am proud of myself. 
8. Teach Aubrey to swim (I am going to START this one over July 4 weekend when we all go to the lake) This one got diffused due to parental restrictions. 
9. Swim Golden Lake This I did and rocked it. This old fish still has her flippers. And I proved it again when I swam the swim portion of the tri and finished fourth in my age group and 100th overall. :) 
10. Dance in the rain
11. Swim with Sharks  (no I am not crazy) Yep - I did this in the Bahamas for a shark dive - but I also did it in their natural environment when I was in NC and again in Hawaii. 
12. Go to at LEAST one concert - I KILED this one - I was lucky enough to go to Foo Fighters with Carl, which was ridiculous. It was hands down one of the best shows I have ever been too. 

As I said, this is a working list, so it may take a while for me to get to 33 but I am pretty confident that I will get there. Again - if you have any suggestions, feel free to comment with ideas. :)
