30 Before 30 Update

On April 1, I turned 28. One year closer to the big 3-0. Mama Mia.

Last year, I created a list of 30 things I wanted to accomplish before I turned 30. I had also already completed a few of the goals at the time. Those goals are the ones that are crossed through. The goals that has bold text next to them are ones that I either completed during this past year or ones I have updated. I was excited to see that during the age 27, I was able to get quite a few knocked out!
