I Can't Believe....

I'm starting a blog!! I love keeping up with other people's lives through their blogs and I had pondered starting one myself in the past, but I was always afraid that my life is kind of boring right now and that I wouldn't keep up with it.

Well....my friend Karen was telling me about an idea she got from her sister. Basically, you make a list of 101 things you would like to accomplish and you have 1,001 days to complete them. When she first told me I honestly cringed. I have never been one to like to set long-term goals. I always kind of had the attitude that by setting goals you are setting yourself up for failure. Pathetic, I know. But when I saw Karen's list, I have to admit that I got really motivated. Most of the things are goals that are really attainable. I have plenty of things on a list in my head that I know I want to do, but somehow they just keep getting pushed aside. So I decided to create a list of my own.

I'm not sure right now exactly what direction this blog is headed. For now, I'll start with my "101 in 1001" list and I'll post updates whenever I complete one of my goals. I'll probably occasionally update with other things that have been going on with Trevor and me, along with any other thoughts I have on life. I also added Trevor as a contributor, so maybe you'll hear from him every once in awhile. :)

Please feel free to comment on here. It will be nice to know that there are people out there reading to keep me motivated to keep on blogging and completing my list!
