  2. Wow, you're ambitious. What about world peace, though? Just kidding. It really is good to have so many goals! Mine: Make it through today. And it's the same everyday. :) I hope you get all these accomplished!

  3. That is such a great list! I have no doubt you will do them. I remember Dusty and I had a list of things we wanted to do before we left Georgia, and everytime we didn't know what to do, we would consult our list and make it happen. Having the list is such a great thing to help you accomplish more than you would otherwise. And, aside from that, they really are wonderful goals you've got on there! Totally realistic. You guys seem like such a wonderful couple...I'm inspired by your list to make another of our own.
