30 things

Thirty has been rough on me.  All kidding aside, I really have struggled with the idea that I am no longer a twenty-something.  Some people have told me that they looked forward to the 30th birthday and others who agreed and said it was difficult at first.  I know my life is extremely blessed beyond measure, so I'm not complaining about my life...I just want to go on claiming twenty-nine for the rest of my life.  At least until I'm forty and then I'll probably want to claim thirty by then.
As a way to celebrate this momentous birthday I decided to do a 30 things about me post.  In no particular order I give you...
