30 before 30

I give credit to Suz's 30 before 30 blog for inspiring my little post. 30 before 30 is such a fabulous idea that I just have to add this to my blog also. I turn 30 in about 16 months! This gives me plenty of time to start getting with the program! (Whatever the 30 turn out to be!!)

I think I know of a few but I will need more time to actually get them on here!

Tell me, what are things you all are dying to do before 30 or 40 or any other milestone?

I also want to plan a post on 20 things I have done in my twenties and maybe 20 things I did before I turned 20!!

This is going to be fun! And it might make turning 29 in October less painful!

**update**

So, I just realized that I turn 29 in 3 months and 5 days! Eek! I better start my list!
