101 Things List

I saw this awesome idea on another young lady's blog and I decided what the heck I'm going to do it too.  :)  This is a list of 101 things I will hopefully get done or accomplished in 1,001 days.  It was A LOT harder to come up with 101 things (and as you can see I'm not at 101 yet), and I got stuck around 85ish.  When I would tell my friends and family about me doing this their response was..."You have a lot of time on your hands!"  haha, but I thought this was a great way to actually put on paper the things that need to be or that I would like to accomplish.  I began writing them down at the beginning of April and worked on the list throughout the month.  I will be updating my list every time I get done with something.  You may laugh at some of the things I have listed, but these are things that I would like to do.  :)  A lot of these things involve my Mom or my sweet Bailey boy!

Why don't you try to make your own list and see how well you get through it and how difficult it is to think of 101 things to do...haha!  Share with me your thoughts!

As you can see, I'm not at 101 yet.  I will keep thinking of things and hopefully get to 101.  :)  I wanted to go ahead and post this the first of May so I could continue to think of things while working on the ones I already have listed.

One last thing for the day, as you already know, Bin Laden was captured and killed.  I hope that everyone continues to pray for our country and especially the ones who are in other countries working, serving, and doing whatever else abroad.  I have a feeling that due to Bin Laden's killing things could possibly get real nasty between the U.S. and other countries.  I pray that it does not.  I am one who believes in my country and wants to see it succeed, but I am also very skeptical to things that have been going on.  In all honesty, I have lost a lot of faith in the United States government and the things that they tell us.  I know this may sound anti-American, but there are MANY things that are not shared with Americans that I personally feel is vital information for Americans.  I hope and pray that God continues to believe in our country and that the United States continues to be blessed.  I also hope that the many young women and men (including my brother) come home safely from the Middle East.  Please continue to pray for those serving our country.      

I hope everyone has a great day and because today is May 2nd that means I have exactly one month until I come home!  :)  WOO HOO!!!
