101 in 1001


I've been thinking about putting together a 101 in 1001 list for awhile now and feel like today is the perfect day to start because...

Today is my 25th birthday!
I've knocked out a quarter of my life and to say that, really puts life into perspective.
It gets me to thinking about all the things I've accomplished in my life thus far, but also about all things that I still wish to accomplish. I feel like 25 is a good age with so much to look forward to, but far enough along where you feel like you're life priorities are a little different now. To me it's more about being a loving wife, preparing myself to be a good mother one day, making a house into a home, and finding time to enjoy the little things in life.

I'm hoping by creating a long-term list of 101 goals and wishes, I'll be able to look back in 1,001 days and feel like I didn't let life pass me by, but made great strides with coming into my own. I'm so excited to get this started and hope that more of y'all will think about creating a 101 in 1001 list with me also!
