30 before 30

I've been thinking for a while about this day. 28 years old. Two years until I turn 30. So while this 30 before 30 list has been sitting in my Google docs folder for almost a year, I figured the day I turn 28 is the perfect day to post it!! Two years to go- and I'm so excited to cross of all of these things! 

While some of these things are very specific (read x number of books or try x number of new recipes), a lot are focused on my general way of life or things I want to do in a more abstract way. So while I might not be able to cross them off right away, I figure if I make an actual effort to do them in the next two years, I will call it a success!  Also, I promise I actually wrote this list before we bought our house and got the pup.

I have until May 16, 2016 to make these happen!
