30 Before 30

I have a list for everything in my life. So why not make a list for things that I want to have done before I turn 30??!! I cannot believe that in a little over a year I will be 30! That is insane to me. I feel like for the past 28 years I have done a lot. I have been out of the country, married the love of my life, graduated high school and college, paid car notes, bought our first home, witnessed the birth of a child, seen my best friends marry and have children, run a side business, experienced the worst natural disaster to hit America, zip lined, sang karaoke, watched my husband get baptized, learned how to make and decorate cakes, been to Disney World and Disney Land, flown on airplanes, shark fishing, deep sea fishing, rode horses in the mountains,attended proms, attended my 10 yr class reunion, attended a painting class, learned how to make Mamaw Lucy's dressing, participated in a Dixie Stampede contest...and the Brooks' won!, assisted with taking a group of ESS patients to the aquarium in NO... it was such an amazing experience to watch them experience it, came up with a pretty good chicken and dumpling recipe, learned how to drive a tractor, seen numerous cities, and there are so many more things!
  I love to always be doing something. My Mama always told me to live life to the fullest and you can stop when you're dead. SOOOO I try to always live like that. Here it goes:
