30 Before 30

Today marks the official countdown to 30...two years to be exact! I am not one of those girls who's dreading the event, but rather someone who is looking forward to it - if nothing else than for a big bash (hint, hint, friends). In my many blog readings over the past few years, one of the things I've most enjoyed reading are lists like Mackenzie's & Jess's - lists of things that are both dreams and goals, but lists that are most of all, accomplishable. I am sure there are many things I could include on this list, but these are the things that came to me. So, without further adieu, I present my 30 before 30 list:
