Bucket List For a Year

I have always been a fairly goal oriented person and most of my goals have normally been short term goals.  There are so many things I want to do and see in life so I figure why not write them down?  It is often said that when you write something down, you are more likely to stick to it and hold yourself accountable.

I figured since I just turned 32, I could come up with 32 goals that I wanted to try to accomplish in my 32^nd year of life.  Once I started typing, ideas came to mind all at once, yet once I hit the number 20 I almost hit a goal wall and had to use some Google searches to gather some more ideas.  But then once I hit 32, I just couldn’t stop!  

1. Take a sewing class
2. Buy a nice camera for my interest in amateur photography
3. Travel to two new destinations I have not been before
4. Visit my family in CT
5. Make a baby
6. Create Wedding photo books
7. Complete 4^th bedroom decorating (last room on the list!)
8. Start blogging again
9. Have a girls weekend with mom and sisters
10. One DIY project a month (especially festive decorations)
11. Begin exercising again
12. Take a long bike ride
13. Take a long hike or walk with hubby
14. Do something fallish – apple picking/pumpkin patch/hay ride/corn maze
15. Pay off student loans
16. Refinish night stand and rocking chair
17. Do something special for one year anniversary
18. Do a St. Augustine haunted tour
19. Start or join a book club
20. Host a dinner party and use wedding china
21. Go on a day trip to a place I have never been before with hubby
22. Have a garage sale
23. Figure out what to do with my wedding dress
24. Identify 100 things that make me happy and write them down
25. Send holiday cards
26. Take more pictures
27. Create website to house said pictures
28. Date night with hubby once a month
29. Complete Masters Degree
30. Cook dinner twice a week
31. Reach out to friends and family more often just to say hi.
32. Make at least 2 fall DIY Decorations
33. Make at least 2 Christmas DIY decorations
34. Complete Fall Bucket list

Now I realize some of my goals may take a bit longer than a year to accomplish but at least they are down on paper and if I don’t complete some they can always be carried over to the following year.  Once my goal list was complete, I have to admit a small overwhelming feeling hit telling me that there just isn’t enough time, where will I find all the time to complete these?!  Deep breaths, I have a whole year!

What are some of your short term goals for this year?  Have you written them down? Completed any yet?

I am off to Boston tomorrow for a gals weekend with some of my favorite gals in the world.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
