I've decided to put together a list of 30 things that I want to do before I'm 30. This is not a "Bucket List" but a list of (hopefully) attainable things that I can actually accomplish in the next year and a half.
When I was thinking about this list, I realized that I've been very lucky--- I've done a lot of things that I've always wanted to try like-- getting married to my best friend, rafting in Costa Rica, sewing my own clothes, keeping a sketch journal, going to Europe, getting two dogs, and cruising the Caribbean (this trip is already scheduled!).
As I complete items, I'll put the date completed, and link to the post where I talk about it. Without further ado, here's my list:
