30 before 30 list

30 is just around the corner...well 3 years around the corner! But you know as well as I do that time flies and it doesn't stop for no one. I am a huge list maker, I need that reminder of what I want to accomplish, and then crossing something off my list makes me smile SOOOOO big. So in any list lovers fashion, I have made a list of 30 things I want to do before I turn 30 on May 25, 2014 (hopefully the world doesn't end in 2012!).  The list is in no particular order...just when they popped into my head.
