In 2015 (can't believe it's been that long!), I chose to participate in Macy's 101 in 1001 link-up series/challenge. I'll post the final update in August when it officially ends, but I'll just say I didn't even do half the things on the list. A lot of the goals were just so lofty and I don't think I realized just how much the Army takes over your life. On top of that, we started focusing on our finances over everything, so some of those goals just didn't make sense.
I wanted to try again with some more realistic but still challenging goals. I'm really excited about a lot of these goals and I think most are attainable even with the changes the Army could bring to our lives. I'm really excited to get started with this new list!
