101 List

So, over the past week I've done a whole lot of packing. And a whole lot of smiling. And a whole lot of day dreaming. As a result of those things I have comprised a list. A list of 101 things that I want to do in 1001 days. It's from a website called The Day Zero Project. My best friend's older sister, Brittany White, did this and I've been wanting to do it since.

I cannot wait to get started. My day 1 will be the first day I move to California. I will keep you guys updated as I go along!

Scott is officially with the fleet (3 Batallion 5th Marines). He graduated from SOI Wednesday! He is so glad to that he is no longer a student and finally gets to experience what it's like to be an "actual Marine". I wish I could post pictures of the graduation but I didn't get to go. We were trying to save money and we're being hopeful that I'll be out there soon enough! We still don't know when or where we are living. We do know we will be living on base. But that's about it. I'll let you know if there is some sort of news anytime soon!

PS- I cut all my hair off... here's the final product. Don't tell me if you hate it, I'll cry.
