**********************************

About a month ago, I saw Jessica Claire’s 101 in 1001. And I personally thought it was a much better way to set and record goals than New Year’s Resolutions ever could be.
So I started my own. A ‘to-do’ list of 101 things that I would like to do in 1001 days. Although I started it halfway through January, I’m counting January 1, 2010 as the first day of this list. Which means the 1001st day would be September 27, 2012.

That sounds so far away. But just enough time for me to complete part of my bucket list.
And then I’ll start it all over again!

For you guys to check out what I’d like to do in the next 1001, here it is.
I urge you to do this too! If you do, leave a comment and link to your list!

And because a post is not complete without a picture…
Brett & I took another one together last week. At least we’re doing better with that in 2010 than we did in 2009!
So glad I get to spend the next 1001 (plus thousands more) days with this man.

-KW.

ps- Tomorrow starts 10 days of love for my husband. A sweet countdown to our first anniversary.

Joy - I was reading your list and am partially inspired to create my own… a heads up for you, though. #30 about the polaroid camera? Polaroid either has stopped or is going to stop making film for them! So hurry up and do it now!!
