101 in 1001 Progress Report

It's the Pacific, in case you can't tell..

With 1.5 months left in the year, I did some follow up on my #101in1001 list. I had an ample amount of free time and just got a big break: I bought Taylor Swift concert tickets. Don't judge, you love her, too... 

With that unexpected purchase, I went over the things I've accomplished this year and things already in plan for next year(s):

Done:

1. Create a 101 in 1001 list  (1/6/14)
2. Cut my hair short (5/22/2014)
3. Figure out how to apply eyeliner perfectly, the first time
4. See Britney Spears in Las Vegas (8/27/14)
5. Dip in the Pacific Ocean (11/4/14)
6. Establish a Sunday ritual of reading in bed in the morning
7. Re-read The Catcher in the Rye (11/9/14)
8. Write a speech for an event: SMS Charms Chapel 5/21/14
9. Throw an amazing Bachelorette party (for Mary, 4/11-13/2014)

3. Have a Harajuku makeover in Tokyo (April 2016)
4. Travel to Japan for his birthday (April 2016)
5. Travel to Spain for my birthday (August 2016)

In the meantime, I've put a dent in my reading list (16 of 50 books), visited 3 new states this year, and have made some progress on styling our home. 

I even mapped out the next year and a half by month to see where I can fit in new things. And to really prove that I had a lot of time on my hands while traveling, I started making my second #101in1001 list for when this one expires in Sept. 2016.

The year has gone by pretty fast and my 101 things have really motivated me to really go for it. A little cheesy, but everyone likes cheese after all…
