A few weeks ago I ventured up to Logan to partake in a sister's day. While I was there Hailey told me about something she had seen and decided to implement in her own life. You make a list of 101 things you would like to do, see, accomplish in the next 1001 days. Each thing has to be fairly specific and if it's a goal it needs to have a specific time period in which it will take place. Hailey and Zach both did their own lists, but I thought that might be a little too much for us, taking into account our supreme flakiness. Steven and I sat down and created a list together, so some points are family goals, some are just mine or just his.
We started out 1001 days November 1st 2012 and will end July 28 2015. I'm super excited about this so hopefully that will keep me going. I'm going to post my list and then I'll post as I complete things.
