50 Before 50 Check-In List

 


I talked about my 50 Before 50 list in Sunday School class recently and received a lot of questions about it! Before I tell you today the progress I’ve made, do you want to hear the sadness about what I didn’t get to do? A few Saturdays ago, one of Ryan’s coworkers offered him FREE train ride tickets for a fun fall train event. She had purchased them and then couldn’t go. I was so bummed that we both had commitments that day and couldn’t use them. So the train ride remains unchecked on my list. But I did have fun working on some other items!

Learn how to play 5 songs on the harp. This is not done, of course. Not yet. But I did work on one! I found sheet music to the hymn I Sing the Mighty Power of God and tried it. It sounded painful, but I managed to squeak it out. I enjoyed working on it and will continue.

Learn to hula hoop. I told you I bought the hoop. I watched some YouTube videos and tried to get it to spin…and I failed. I found a friend who has skills, and she told me a weighted hoop would probably help me be more successful. (I’ve heard those make a great workout, too!) Maybe she can come over and teach me. I don’t think the YouTube route is going to work for me.

Do some sort of coffee adventure. As I shared with you a couple of days ago, I did start this! We have been to one of the six coffee shops on the coffee adventure passport so far!

Find “our” restaurant. I don’t know if I’m ready to declare this done or not, but we did make an attempt. I took Ryan to Do Good restaurant for our engagementversary, and I think it could be a real contender to be “our” restaurant. I’ll keep you posted.

Make my jewelry capsule. It’s not made yet, but I did make the list for it. I used the post I found that explained it as my inspiration and made a wish list. I’ll start officially building soon!

Thrift 50 things on my wish list. Ryan and I went to the Goodwill this month, and I found some neutral fall décor. I had a few tiny gourds/pumpkins in a cloche jar, but I didn’t have enough to fill it. I found a few more pieces to add to that and three blue pumpkins that are perfect for our bedroom!

                I thought that was pretty good for a busy month!
