// DMB on the 4th of July!

As of today I am more than half way through the 1001 days guiding my little 101 list (today is day 553, to be precise). I’ve been plugging along since December 31, 2012 and it’s crazy to think of how much has happened in those 553 days and how much life has changed. Time really does fly by! My 101 in 1001 list has been a really fun way to tackle a bunch of things I’ve always wanted to do, both big and small – it’s been the perfect excuse to try new things and having the list  public has helped hold me accountable.

Some updates on my progress since my last progress check in January:
