Happy Sunday! I hope everyone has had a relaxing weekend. We apologize for not blogging in such a long time. We've been bogged down with moving and other things. This won't necessarily be a wedding post, but don't fret those will be back very soon!
We first heard about the 101 in 1,001 Challenge from my best friend, Lizzie. She did the challenge on her blog probably about a month ago and it inspired us to make one ourselves (cross that off you list, Liz!).
The challenge is to create a list of 101 things (small or big!) you hope to accomplish in the next 1,001 days (about 2.75 years). We created this list trying to keep in mind all of our big goals for our life together, but still wanting to try new things and spend time with the people we love most. Once a task is completed, we'll strike through it. If a task is in the process of being completed, we'll bold it. We will also try our best to make blog posts on as many of the big and exciting tasks as we can!
