101 in 1001

I usually like jumping on the bandwagon of blog fads and then slowly fade away, but I'm hoping I don't do that with this one, 'cause it's actually really really cool! It's long term though, so I'm going to need help keeping up!!

The idea is that you create a list of 101 things to do. They can be dreams, they can goals, they can be accomplishments. Anywhere from graduating from college to traveling to doing something new in your hometown. I was inspired by Yelena's blog and I am going to join in!

The thing I really like about this challenge is that this list of 101 things is to be completed in 1001 days (about 2.75 years, or 32 months) and everytime you complete a task you are to take a picture and post it on the blog, as well as putting $10 in a jar for every time you finish something on your list. I am really excited for this!!

I'm setting the beginning date of this project on my birthday!
Beginning date: February 26, 2013
Ending date: November 24, 2015
