UPDATED: December 2011
As a habitual list maker & dreamer, I decided to keep my 101 List going and take it up a notch by creating a menu of adventures, growth & learning opportunities, goals & dreams, and silly stuff to keep me making the most out of the rest of my life. I’ll try to keep it updated, hopefully be adding more fun stuff over the years, not afraid to delete anything that losses its appeal and keep on dreaming big!

Even before we were married, we made a 101 List in our honeymoon of things we wanted to do during our first 1,001 days of marriage. Things we wanted to do & accomplish- some big and some small, some cheap & some luxury, some fun & some work. Some were travel related, some were education related, some were health/fitness related, some just personal growth.
