101 Things

So I'm going to break down and work on a 101 things to do in 1001 days.  One of the girls on the bump had this list and it really inspired me.  It so easy to think about the things we want to accomplish in 1-year or 5-years, but its a totally different thing to actually write it all down.  So here is my list.  I'll try to remember to check in monthly on how I'm doing.  Hope this inspires some of you to do the same thing.

This list is good from July 26, 2010 to April 22, 2013
