The reason I blog...

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and
keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh
your memory of these meaningful, significant things. Some of them may be funny.
Some may be of significance only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly
beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of
special experience."
~Gordon B. Hinckley

My 101 in 1001!!

So I saw this on someone else's blog and thought it was a great idea! I always write out lists of things I want to do and goals that I want to accomplish (Joey likes to laugh when he finds these lists spread all over the house too!). My problem is that I have a hard time reaching those goals because I forget about them...especially when those lists of things to do end up thrown away! So this is a list of 101 things I want to accomplish in 1001 days!! I figured if I published them, maybe it would push me too achieve them and blog them as I check them off the list! Some of these things are personal...so don't judge me that they aren't already done! Here goes...

What a fun post! I hope you don't mind that I am planning on copying it! You are so ambitious!

You have a beautiful family and it looks like you are doing so well! We should have a reunion. I would love it. I didn't go to the last one for one reason or another and I really regretted it. Anyway, I loved to read your goals. There are some that I would probably put on a life long list and I am impressed you would attempt. But mostly they are goals I can relate to as a mother, like brushing your kids teeth every night. Why is that so easy to forget? Good luck. I should probably do that too.

I love your blog....but I have to giggle that Clayton totally has his hand palming your boob and you have that as the first picture on here. Sorry, I'm terrible, I know. Haha. Where did you get that 101 in 1001 idea? It's fantastic!

I'm going to venture to do that as well, hope you don't mind me being a copycat!

You are such a motivated woman! I applaud you! You are someone I really look up to and want to be more like, and I mean it!

You never cease to amaze me! You are such a cute mom and here you are doing all of these things as well- I wish I was more like that. One question- do you get any sleep?
