65 in 365

Edited on Monday, February 15th - I'm editing this post to update for items that are already In Progress, as well as, adding one new item. I'll update this post and status on a monthly basis after today! :)

So, I saw this "65 in 365" on Michele's blog, The Story of Us, and I thought what better way to start out an amazing year than to set goals for myself and my family. I think that this will really help me to be accountable for the things that I want to do, as well as, hopefully stay organized and get things accomplished. I'm looking forward to seeing what items I get completed when the 365 days are over. I'll start on my list tomorrow, February 11th, 2010, and I'll end on February 11th, 2011.

I've only listed 52 items, because I can't think of anymore at this time, but as I come up with things or update the list, I'll post an update for everyone to see. I may not get 65 items on my list, but I'll do my best!
