30 before 30 revisited

One week ago today I turned 30. Something about that age makes me feel like I am a real adult. I remember when I was in high school thinking how old that seemed, and now, I don't feel any different than I did in my mid-late twenties.

God has been so good to me over the last 30 years and He'll undoubtedly be even more amazing in the years to come. I've finally taken some time to go over my 30 before 30 list. I accomplished many of the things on my list, and while I wish I had been able to cross them all off, I'm proud of what I've done. Maybe a 40 before 40 is in order?

Let's see what I was able to cross off...
