Catch up, 8 more down!

2. Learn to quilt

11. Create patio out front
13. Start a small garden
19. Buy a new SUV
22. Landscape the front yard
38. Read 5 non school related books
40. Go for a walk with Jason, Ethan and the dogs when we are having nice weather
85. Get new bookshelves for the living room

#2- though I learned how to do it, it isn't my favorite thing, it seriously makes my arms want to fall off!  I don't think it is something I will be doing much of unfortunately.

#11 and #22 we have been working on for the last month!  Finishing touches are going on now.

#13- We just got our first sprouts of our bell pepper and jalapenos plants!

#19- We bought a 2010 4Runner Limited!!!  It is SO STINKIN' NICE!!!

#38- Done mostly due to getting sucked into Twilight, LOL.

#40- While it hasn't been many walks, we have gone on a few.  I get so winded walking back up our hill, add being pregnant on and I'm beat!

#85- We put up a cube bookshelf and organized all Ethan's toys on the shelves and into baskets that fit onto the shelves.  It looks really nice and keeps things contained while Ethan is not playing with it.  (When is that??)

2 more! #1 and # 98

1. Figure out what I want to do educationally
98. Try to find a super part time job to help accomplish all these tasks

I've kind of known 1 for a while but never put it here. I plan on finishing by Bachelor Degree but after that I don't plan on using it, LOL. I just want to wrap my schooling up into a pretty little bow. What I ultimately want to do though is open my own photography business.

#98, I got a PT job as a photographer at a local studio opening up this month! WooHoo!! The hours are after Jason gets home so no sitter/daycare needed! (If it didnt work with Jason's job I wouldn't have even considered taking the job.) Hopefully this one will help us tackle a couple of my other goals!

Coming up on the 1 year mark

Pretty soon it is going to be one year since I started my 101 Things in 1001 Days. So far I have 32 things checked off the list, that is about 1/3! Not bad! I have a feeling that we won't be completing the whole thing due to monetary issues but that's not going to keep us from trying to doing what we can, when we can. Over the next year I hope we can do more than last year, maybe 40-50 things! We'll see though! :0)

# 69

69. Bake my own bread

I made rosemary focaccia the other day and it was delish! Even more surprising is it was EASY!

Did more than I thought lately!! 5 down!

37. Get window treatments for the kitchen- I just got these in the mail today! I think they look really nice, but they still need to grow on me. Hopefully they help with the cold those windows let in!
43. Clean and organize the guest room- Everything is out of there except baby things! And we got the carpet in the professionally cleaned! Woot!
66. Go through all my clothes and donate the ones I no longer wear/need- Tonight I created a pile that is HUGE just from extra clothes from the closet, looking at the pile and looking back in the closet it's a miracle it all fit.
68. Have my neighbors over for dinner- They are over for dinner all. the. time. now! So fun!
88. Get new frame for Jason's uncle's painting- We got the painting custom framed with a 60% off coupon, even with 60% off it was still $80! Sheesh!

#62 and #70

62. Get carpets professionally cleaned
70. Make a friend a birthday cake from scratch

The carpets were done yesterday to a tune of $322. Yikes.

I also made a randow birthday cake for my neighbor for her surprise party. It turned out quite colorful and quite pretty! I was proud! Except that it didnt have enough icing because I ran out, oh well, it was still yummy!

Just did a quick count

I have 24 things done! About a quarter of the way there, and there is still a lot of time left, hopefully I can accomplish the whole list!

3 down!

35. Go on a road trip
41. Go hiking with Jason
82. Research Denver and Colorado Springs, figure out which we are going to move to

We just got back from a trip to Colorado! Denver more specifically and while we're still planning on checking out Colorado Springs we thing the Denver area is it! We went hiking around a mountain lake and had a great time in general!

# 23

23. Organize my photo's on my external hard drive

This took me about two weeks! Sheesh! I consolidated all photos from three computers, burned all to DVD's (took about 6 4.5G DVD's!) and backed them all up onto my external hard drive. That is a HUGE weight off my chest! I would never have forgiven myself if I lost all Ethan's baby pictures when I've been meaning to back things up way over a year now!

3 more down!!!

3. Take a class in photography
4. Learn Photoshop
7. Buy an excellent (professional) camera

I am currently a couple weeks into my photography and editing classes!! It is so exciting and so, so fun! (but very overwhelming at times!) I'm so pumped about what Im going to learn this semester!
And the most exciting thing?? I got my just released Nikon D300s a couple days ago! WOOOOOT!!!! Let the fun begin!!
