101 in 1001

It's finally here, my 101 in 1001.  For anyone who might not have seen this before, this is a list of 101 things I want to do in 1001 days.  That's 101 things to accomplish in about 2.75 years I'm so excited to get started on this journey.  Some of these things are small (and may seem insignificant as you read through) and some are big HUGE things.  As an organizer by nature, I found it best to copy Amber at YFN and group my list into categories.  I also want to preface this list by saying that these are just goals I have for myself, aimed at getting me to do things I might not otherwise do/accomplish.  I am totally open to changes in my life and God's plan for me that might change the circumstances so a goal wouldn't work.  That's life, and I'll take that as it comes and go from there. Well, here goes!
