So my very good friend Stephanie has pressured me again. I give into peer pressure way too easily don't I? : ) We've been inspired to start our own 101 in 1001 lists. This past summer I had a summer bucket/to do list with one of my bffs, Jackie, so I already had a head start on a few of the items on my list. I think we should start it up ASAP! What do you think?
