30 by 30

I'll be 26 in just 5 days.  Sometimes it's hard to believe that there are only 4 years left in my 20s.  In some ways, I still feel 16.  In other ways, I feel like I'm much older.  Like tonight, when I'm sitting at home on a Friday night, blogging and watching Duck Dynasty. :)

  I've seen lots of people do a "30 by 30" bucket list, and I thought it would be fun.  There are so many things I'd love to do, so maybe if I put them into a list and give myself a time frame, it'll give me a little more motivation. :)

I tried to make all of these things realistic, and since I made this list in July of last year, I've already accomplished a few of them. Some are big things, but lots of them are just little things I've always wanted to do.  Some of them are family related while others are business related.  Some are just plain selfish, and things I want to do for me.  I think I'll make a "30 by 30" page at the top of my blog, so I can cross them off as I go along.  

Here goes, in no particular order...
