thirty before thirty

I started compiling a thirty before thirty list early last year. I decided it would be a great way to get some personal wants and goals accomplished. Some are small, some are big.  Some are silly, some are serious. Some rely on others, some I'll do on my own.

Hopefully I can cross all these things off my list before August 1st, 2016!
