101 Things in 1001 Days

Over the summer I have been working on compiling a list of 101 things that I want to do in the next few years, a mini-bucket list basically.  I got the idea from a friend of mine who did the 101 things in 1001 days inspired by Day Zero Project.  I decided to make my own list and start it today, September 22nd, 2013 so that I would complete my 1001 days on my 30th birthday: June 19th, 2015.  Here's my list!  As I check items off the list I will share about those experiences here.  I hope that this inspires you to make your own list or at least try to accomplish a few of those things you've always wanted to do!
