30 before 30

I remember my mom's 30th birthday.  It was a food shower at our church (long story - more on my childhood later).  I was eight years old when mom turned 30.  Thirty seemed SO old to me back then.  It's not looking so old nowadays.  I turn 30 on October 9, 2014.  Before I reach this milestone, I'm determined to make the most of my life, challenge myself, and try a few new things.  Below is my list (in no particular order).  I'll document every item.  Wait for it...
