30 before 30

30 is the new 20 kids. Ever since seeing 13 Going On 30, I've been certain that 30 is going to be IT. Thirty, flirting, and thriving... haha. The bee's knees. The cat's meow. The good days. The time of my life. =) Hey 30, no pressure! In honor of the impending big day (June 2014), I bring to you my list of 30 things to do before I'm 30. With over two years to go - there's definitely time. Who knows if I'll pull it off... but I'll give it a good, solid effort!
