30 before thirty

I will turn thirty on March 30. I am following Making it Lovely's lead and making a list of things I want to do before then. Not that its a DEADline or anything. Just motivation.

I have been making this list for a while and so have already accomplished a few of them. I guess I'll use the next seven months to try the rest.

I'll explain each item more as I check it off the list.
