30 before 30

My 30th birthday is approaching faster than I'd like. I'm kind baffled at how quickly time has gone by since I graduated from college. I know there are lots of people who have done lists such as this and I figured it would be a good idea for me to put one together to help me accomplish some things I've had my mind on for a while now. I kinda cheated and used some off of this list.

So... 30 things I want to do before I'm 30

  5. Landscape my "yard"
  6. Read all the Harry Potter books

What a good list! This makes me want to compile a list for myself. I hope you are able to do all 30 things! I might have to copy some of the things on your list...

Number 6 is my favorite! If you read all the books you will enjoy my next HP Halloween party. I hate to say it but I'm thinking of having another one this year. Ethan and his friends are begging for one.
