100th Post!

Okay, I had originally planned to write 100 things about myself for this post, but since no one asked any questions{ :( } it just seems to daunting to think of that many things about myself to tell you. So instead I've decided to write a list of 100 things I would like to accomplish. I first got the idea from Vanessa over at Journey to James 1:27. She has compiled a list of 101 things she wants to do in 1001 days. I'm not going to be that specific. These are just 100 things I would like to get done in the next five years. I will keep this post on the side of my page and check off each one as I accomplishment so you can check up on my progress!

PS....finished things will be changed to red
