Okay, so Jody and I have decided to be each other's cheering section and do our 101 items in 1001 days! (Thanks Jenny for the idea). As I was doing this, my object was to also try and get in things that are fun, since I am a go, go, type A personality and relaxing is actually hard to do. There are a couple of these things that will never be complete, but I can work on them!! There are also some things that I will hope to do more than once, we will see. According to calculations, if today is day 1, then day 1001 is DECEMBER 3, 2010!! We will have a big party!! Notice one of my tasks was just finished...

I love your list. Now I have some stuff I want to add to my list (i.e. the marriage retreat). It'll be fun to watch you and Jody finish the tasks. You've motivated me to go look at mine and see what I should do next!
Well dang...now I've got to get crackin on mine! Can't wait to "see" you accomplish everything..I'm sure you'll keep us posted via your blog in your 12+ posts a month!
