30 before 30

Tomorrow I turn 29. And to be honest, that completely scares me. It's a not so subtle reminder that 30 is right around the corner, and there is plenty I haven't accomplished.

What better way to accomplish it, then 30 things to do before 30... in a year. Yup! A year! Yikes! It's a bit intimidating, but to be honest I'm cheating a little bit. There are some things we already have planned, that will be a first for me, and others that I'm hoping will be spontaneous or that I can work toward.

So, here's to 29.
