Happy Birthday to Me!

Yes, I will admit it. I turned 30 today and I am not afraid to say so. LOL :-D I have seen people write about things they have accomplished or big events in their lives, facts about them, on their birthday posts. For instance, someone that turns 21 will list 21 things that have happened in their life. So, just for fun, I thought I would do that too. (Not in any particular order)
