Before 30 Bucket List Update

It has been just over a year since I posted my bucket list of things I would like to do before I'm 30. I'm 26 years old so I have roughly four years to get everything on this list ticked off. A few of these things are going to take a little bit of work to complete but it will all be worth it.

• Run a marathon or even half marathon - The first thing on the list and after a year I am already scraping this one off the list. When I first posted the original bucket list blog I was running at least three times a week however it wasn't long afterwards that I stopped running and switched to swimming instead. I know I would never be able to run a marathon or even a half marathon unless I started running again which I just don't enjoy anymore.

• Publish a book - I am still very much working on this. I'm still working on finishing my novel. It is taking a lot longer than I thought it would. I am still writing and working on it so at least I know I will get somewhere with it. I have also been working on a children's book which is coming along really nicely and it shouldn't be too long before we can finally publish that.

• Go to Disneyland Paris - I really can't see this happening. Only because my boyfriend doesn't want to go to the Paris Disneyland but he would rather go to Disneyworld in Florida instead. I'd be happy to go to Disneyworld but at the minute I just can't afford it and don't think that will change anytime before I turn 30.

• Go to Rome - I am still aiming for this one. Maybe next year I will be able to tick this one off the list.

• Go back to Cyprus - We went back to Cyprus in June this year and it was as good as the first time we went. Although we did go to a different area. I still very much enjoyed our week there.

• Lose weight, get fit and stick to it - What a joke this goal has been so far. I have been making a complete mess of this although for the last month I have gone back swimming and this week I will be joining the gym. Fingers crossed that by next year I will be able to tick this one off the list.

• Sell cupcakes to the public - I haven't made cupcakes in ages but now I have had my kitchen re-done and I have a new oven I plan on starting to bake more.

• Have a baby - I am getting closer to this goal and fingers crossed by this time next year I will be able to say I'm pregnant.

• Learn how to play the guitar or keyboard - I haven't even tried to do this yet. Not since I wrote the original blog post. It is still something I would like to do though.

• Go to more concerts - I went to see Robbie Williams back in June but I would still like to see more artists play live.

• Learn how to speak Welsh - I'm slowly picking up bits from working in a nursery but I would still like to do a proper Welsh course.

• Go snorkeling - This is still something I haven't had the chance to do this but I'd still like to give it a try.

• Watch a sunset - I just want to sit on a beach somewhere and watch the sun go down.

• Watch a sunrise - I was actually able to do this on a plane ride to Spain recently. It was actually quite incredible.

• Learn origami - Folding paper is actually harder than it sounds but I will get there with it.

• Learn sign language - I've been looking to do a course recently so fingers crossed that next year I can say I can sign.

• Do 50 random acts of kindness - I've done a few but haven't ticked any off yet. I need to start officially counting them.

• Meet more celebrities - Okay so I haven't met anyone else yet but hopefully it won't be too long until I can tick this off.

Well that is my updated bucket list so far. I have officially ticked two things off the list: go back to Cyprus and watch a sunrise. Two out of eighteen isn't too bad is it. Wish me luck for the year ahead. I will update the bucket list again in a years time.
