This is my challenge to myself before I turn 30 in just under a year and a half.  Complete these 30 things that I’ve had in the back of my mind as things that would be nice to do but just haven’t pushed myself to actually do them.  Not that I feel lacking in the motivation department!  These are actually some activities and goals that will hopefully make me appreciate life more and the people that I share it with.  I’ll try to update this whenever I accomplish something and include a little info about the event as well.  I’m really looking forward to turning 30 and I can’t wait to try some new adventures, reconnect with friends and family and push myself a little more to do all that I can.

Here is my list:
