101 in 1001

This is a list of 101 things that I want to accomplish in the next 1001 days. A friend of mine posted her list on her awesome lifestyle blog and I was immediately in love with the idea. The idea of a "101 in 1001" list is to complete 101 things in 1001 days. So I sat down and thought about where I see myself in 2.75 years. After drawing a blank, because I don't know what I want to be when I grow up, I looked at some other lovely ladies' lists and....Tada! I have my list. A few of these goals are small and somewhat silly, and some are daunting, but I can't wait for all the great experiences that are on the way!
