My friend Joy K has a great blog you should check out HERE. She gave me the great idea of starting a 101 in 1001 list. What is this you might ask? This is a list of 101 things I would like to accomplish in 1001 days. Now obviously there are things that I want to do that are not on this list. For example, I need to get my baby girls room finished before she is born. That is a given and isn't going to be on my list. Also, things like Travel to Japan will not be on my list. While that may be on my lifetime bucket list, it is not very likely I will travel to Japan within the next 1001 days. So here is my list. I hope you enjoy and feel free to leave a comment or offer some encouragement while you are here! Completed items will be in blue. These are in no particular order:

Thanks so much Amber!! And if you hear of a photography class, let ME know! :) And we can do it together... I have a nice camera, just not sure what to do with most of it. :) Glad you liked the list!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a month. Have you completed any more of these?
ReplyDeleteHey Amber... nope, pretty slow going here... although I did finish one book on my list of 26. You would think with all my "extra" time right now I could mark some of these off my list! :)
