That's a Wrap! (5 Months Later...)

By -
I was planning to write a long post about my thoughts and feelings about how I've felt throughout this experience. Buuuuuuuuut....it's nearly 5 months after I've finished, so I'm going to do a bulleted list of how my first list went.
    • I LOVED IT!
    • When I started, I wanted direction and adventure and just something to do in my life! Reflecting back on my experience, I definitely think this accomplished those desires.
    • I was very ambitious with some things (see 101 recipes, skydiving, etc.), but I think it was good for me to stretch myself and think about crazy things I would try doing.
    • It really helped to have friends and family encourage and help me with accomplishing my list. Shout-outs to the wonderful Sara and my cute husband :)
    • While I didn't do lots of the items on my list, I did quite a few things I had never imagined I would do in those 1001 days (got married, got a Bachelor's degree, had a baby, etc.).
    Overall, I feel good about what I was able to do and I'm excited to try to do more on the next list! And with that, I will be posting my next list this week :)

    The Me Monthly - Volume 1

    I want to break these monthly update posts into sections. This is probably kind of overkill, but I think it will help to give me direction and I feel like it will be easier for me too. If I finish a goal, I'll still do a separate post for it within the week I finish it (hopefully). ME THIS MONTH I'm thinking I'll use this section to give highlights from the month that aren't list-related. Maybe I'll share some favorites of the month, some fun things I've done, or some thoughts I have about my progress. July has been quite eventful! We spent lots of time with friends and family, and had a few big, one-day events that required extra time beforehand for planning and stuff. The week of the 16th was especially busy. I'm one of the Webelos leaders in my ward and there was a day camp on the 17th. It featured a 3 mile hike where the first mile was almost entirely uphill (my knees and I nearly died), and I brushed up on my first aid knowledge (no more breaths

    Completed - Words to Famous People

    By -
    36. Prepare something I would say to 3-5 famous people I would like to meet (10/10/19) For this, I really had to think about who I thought was "famous". I ended up picking three people/groups that have affected me a lot, while most might not think of them as famous. I chose Shannon Hale (my favorite author), Rhett and Link (my favorite YouTubers), and The Arcadian Wild (one of my new favorite bands). I'm not going to put exactly what I wrote/prepared for them here, but I was able to actually "tell" two of them the things I wanted to say! I sent an Instagram message to The Arcadian Wild, essentially saying thank you for their lyrics and music. When I was introduced to them, their lyrics made such a huge impact on me and just made me feel seen and safe and so happy. For Shannon Hale, I wrote her a thank you card! I was able to hear her speak, but figured I wouldn't be able to actually talk with her. When I got to the "photo-op" portion I just h

    Completed - 2 Meals per Week

    55. For one month, plan and make at least 2 meals/week (9/7/2017) For our whole marriage I've been really bad at planning meals and making healthy dinners. We usually eat terribly. But I want to change that! So during the first weekend of August I planned about seven meals and did some major grocery shopping. I later came up with a few more. These are the meals I planned and the weeks I made them: Week of August 6th - Chicken & Broccoli Casserole, Chili & Cornbread Week of August 13th - Salisbury Steak, Chicken Taquitos Week of August 20th - Rainbow Wraps, Italian Dressing Pasta Week of August 27th - Mock Tacos, Oven Baked Chicken Week of September 3rd - Chicken Burritos, BLTs (There were a few small meals that I "planned," like I decided the night before that I was going to make Mac & Cheese the next day, but I didn't keep track of those. Obviously.) A few things that helped this goal go smoother: - Shredding chicken in the crock pot an
