Countdown begins

So as you can see I have a birthday coming up and I'm super excited about it!!!  I swear it just seems like I turned 21 and now I’m knocking at 30's door.  I am welcoming 30 because I think 30 will be great and each year I get better and wiser so I can only be a good thing. I'm ready for the next phase but before it comes there are a few things I want to have under my belt!  BTW why do they call it the BIG 30 I mean it’s just another year and I still feel the same I don’t think there will be a huge AHA moment once the clock strikes 12 midnight on May 14^th.   My birthday is May 15th which is why I only have 15 things on my list instead of the generic 30 things the time constraints makes me think I may not be able to fit so much in (I do have a lot going on right now).  I am getting started late but at least I’m getting started.   Give me a little credit here.  I wanted to create this blog to keep me accountable and to share my experience in hopes that others will join and possibly do some things that will take them out of there comfort zones.  I doesn’t hurt that this is one of the things on my list!!! I guess you can say I am the conservative type, very straight edge can’t say I’ve done anything too bad (at least nothing that I will openly admit to).  I keep most everything very close to the hip so this is a lot for me to even left anyone know what I am doing.  I don't really do too many crazy things and someone close to me suggested I come up with a list of things to accomplish before I turn 30.  I was very apprehensive at first because I couldn't think of anything I wanted to do within the next few months but then as we talked more and more about it I was like "ok if I don't say yes he won't get off my back," then I thought " this might be fun."  Plus it’s my opportunity to do something different than the usual preparation for the BIG 30.  You would be surprised what you can come up with when you actually think it.  All but one thing on this list are outside of my comfort zone (spending time with my nephew is easy) so I think this is going to be interesting.  Of course I know everyone is wondering why no extravagant trip on the list well I already started planning a European trip early 2012 so since that was in motion I couldn't exactly list that. So I want to thank you all for joining me on this journey over the next several months, buckle up this should be a good ride.
