It's Kickoff

It's kickoff to my 101 in 1001 challenge, that is. I wanted a good even day to begin it on, so I waited all..week..long. February 1st, you are MINE. Tomorrow I will start crossing things off of my list, and I am way too excited about it. I can't even imagine what is going to happen within the next 1001 days, and how much God is going to show me his love. I can only pray that I live every day to the fullest that he intends. I am constantly reminded of my favorite verse..

Over the next few weeks, I have set a goal for myself, so I actually get to start this fun stuff!

• Finish Jillian Michael's 30 day workout
• Send some letters snail-mail style
• Have dessert before dinner
• Do a few DIY projects
• Cook dinner just for me....I'm thinking salmon!
• Memorize a verse a week

I think starting off easy will be the best way to go about it, I don't want it to ever turn into a "job" to get things crossed off! Ew!

As for today, I am going to study some in school, eat lunch & dessert by myself at Macadoo's,  (yes, I actually enjoy doing homework and eating alone in a sit-down restaurant) and then work till the cows come home tonight. But the whole time, I am going to enjoy the sunshine, and get myself ready (hah!) to start 30 days of workout...because we will pretend that Thanksgiving wasn't the last time I exercised..

It's Pinday

So, today is my first "Pinday"... & I'm excited about it.
Have you ever looked at the number of pins that you have on Pinterest? Or the number of pins that you have liked? Yeah, wowza. My numbers are aroundabout 2,000 pins and 700 likes. Yikes.
Every time I pin something, I tell myself, "I should wear something like that" or "yeah, I'm doing that" or "HAHAHAHA"(at something inappropriate)
I have actually only followed through with probably 20 pins. Some actually aren't so bad! But of course, most are #pinstrositys.
I'm going to pick 3 fabulous pins, and ooooh and ahhhh about doing it one of these days.

This bedroom that I have been in awe of for months. That wall. Mmm.

Let's be honest, if you throw Hunter boots into any picture, it becomes 100x better.
