30 before 30

I won't be 30 until 2017, but I'm a massive procrastinator. So I decided to give myself a few years, instead of just one, to accomplish 30 things before I turn 30.  I wanted to start marking things off this year because so many life changing events were beginning to unfold.

Here's my 30 before 30 list:
