Yeah!!! What a great list. So glad you are doing this - we can keep each other "honest" as we make our way through the list :) Please feel free to kick my butt if you don't see me making many updates on my list!
I love that you decided to do this too! I love seeing other people make and work through their list! Like Brooke said, we'll keep eachother honest and motivated!
I am attempting to make my list - it's harder to come up with goals than what I thought it would be!! Great list!! Don't be suprised if I steal some :)
Aww I'm mentioned! I've been reading your blog and updating myself on your life for abt 2 hours now. I'm revving mine back up...last semester was just hard because I was trying to adjust to school, I think. I'm excited! :)
I may see you guys tomorrow night, btw. ;)
I love, love, love this. I am so doing this. It really got me thinking. Thanks.
