28 Things by 28

Today is my 27th birthday and logically a year from now, I will be 28.

I loved the idea of making a list of 28 things to do and accomplish by the time I am 28... when I saw Beantown Baker do a similar thing.

So here it goes, my list of 28 things to do by the time I am 28 years old:
