101 Things in 1,001 Days

So, I have been thinking for awhile about a "theme" for my blog, and I think I finally came to a decision...even though this idea is not original (I stole it from Marcie from Justin and Marcie), I think it's a great idea and I am SUPER excited about it.  Below is a list of 101 items that I want to accomplish in 1,001 days.  I am definitely looking forward to this adventure!  I will begin on August 1, 2010, and hope to have all items completed by April 27, 2013!  I think the main things I hope to accomplish during these 1,001 days is to make memories, have really interesting experiences, learn a lot about myself, and get a lot of crap done.  =)  Wish me luck!!!!!  Here goes nothing:
