So my photographer, Amelia Strauss, had a blog a long time ago that I was incredibly interested in and I wanted to do. I started it a while ago but since I had some downtime at work today, I finished it! It's called "101 in 1001". It's a list of 101 things I want to do in 1001 days. This timeline gives me until about February 15, 2012, give or take a couple of days. Some of these things I've even already done so I can mark them off the list. As I do them I'll make a blog post about them and hopefully the whole list will be completed by the 1001st day! Without any further ado, here is my 101 in 1001 (in no particular order):

This is an awesome idea, though the mere thought of making one for myself makes me panic. Where to begin?! But for you, #51 - check!
I LOVE this! It's an old post, but it's linked up to a new post and I love the idea. I may have to borrow this (and maybe some of the list items-they're very thoughtful!)Thanks for checking out my blog, I've had fun writing it and am glad to know somebody's reading it. :) Definitely adding you to my blog list!
I loved your 101 list so much that I decided to do my own. I've been following your blog for a little while, and I just love it. I found it through Judd and Abby Langham's blog. They're my future brother and sister-in-law.
Your wedding was beautiful! I got some great ideas from your wedding for my own. We're also having our wedding in a warehouse type setting. Can't wait to keep reading!
Good luck on your list!
