101 Things Come and Gone

Does anyone remember this post?

I made a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days.  It began January 1, 2011 and is set to end this September.  I have thought about it occasionally, but have not been dilligent at reviewing my goals. 

I complete 66 out of 101.  (According to my school teacher husband thats only a 65% which is not so hot.  But I enjoyed making the list and thinking about where my life would take me in 2.75 years.  I have changed some goals that I had previously written down, but overall really enjoyed my list.

I plan to start another one when this one ends.  But this time I plan to post my list somewhere to see often and mark off each one as I do it, and I think I will also allow myself to change my list as time goes on.  It seems a little too ambitious to try to complete 101 things, but many are very simple activities, and I am excited to see what our little family does in the next few years!
