Project 101

I got this idea from my next-door neighbor, Melanie Merkling. It is called Project 101. You set 101 goals that you would like to accomplish in the next 1,001 days! Well, here is mine-FINALLY! I tried to get Geno and the boys involved, too, but they weren't as enthusiastic about it as I was. 101 goals is really a lot, but I am sure that I can do it. Be sure to check up on me!
