101 Things to Do in 1,001 Days

Yes...that's right.

 I've jumped on the bandwagon.

I made a 101 List.

It's harder than it looks.

I've been following a blog {Justin and Marcie Morris}. I know them personally...not! I feel like I should though. I love reading their blog mainly because of her 101 list. It was the first I have seen, and since then I have seen many more people doing it. Marcie seems incredibly sweet though and a lot of fun to be around.

When I first saw it, I immediately said that it looked fun, but there was NO WAY I would do one.

Well, guess who lied to herself???

Me!

I've been working on this thing all day it seems.

Thinking about my goals for the future. Thinking about things I wanted done around the house. Just thinking....

After all that thinking though....

IT IS COMPLETE!
