29 by 30 final count

29* things to do before turning 30 - so I didn't get to cross of everything off my list, but I made a good dent and a lot of the things remaining I may be able to do before turning 31 so I think that counts.  :)

1. visit at least 5 "middle" states (1. indiana, 2. michigan, 3. illinois, 4. ohio) (i dont know if im going to get one more "middle" state in!) (my 5th middle state won't get logged til next year)
2. go rock climbing
3. pay off all loans (loan one paid off - dec 2008, car loan paid off - july 2009)
4. start licensing exams (i may need to shoot for completing my idp forms first) (finished logging all 7 years worth of hours that I've worked since I graduated college for IDP)
