Week One
January 2, 2016



Holding my niece, my best friend’s daughter, for the very first time just a few hours after she was born.  Being an only child, I had to create my own siblings.  It is such a great thing to see someone who has been through so much with you, become a mom for the first time.  I cannot wait to watch this precious little girl grow and see how she changes the world.

52 List : List


This year I thought I’d attempt a 52 List project where you compile 52 things to do and complete 1 item each week for a year.  But, some of my ideas overlap, giving me some weeks with nothing and other weeks with multiples.  So my list is going to be a bucket list for 2016, more or less.  52 items to complete in one year, with no real deadline.  Of course I want to complete this all in one year, but I’m allowing myself to not stress over it and just do as much as I can.  If I complete all of it, awesome, half of it, great.  The point is to take a to-do list (fun stuff like dates, house projects, and things we’ve talked about doing, but never have) and make it as fun as possible.  I’ll try to document as much as possible.  We will see how this goes!

This marks the completion of my 5th year doing this project. I went back and viewed all 5 years from an album I have on my fb page. This project has seen me through so much. When I first began this project I was just beginning my last semester as a college student and this month, I'm 2 months into marriage. And in between all that, this project has seen me through 2 jobs (a college student and being unemployed for a while), 2 surgeries, the passing of loved ones, traveling, one of the two transplants my dad had. It watched me fall in love, plan a wedding, and be a newlywed. It showed my 4 fur babies and how important they are to me. It documented life. My life. The days that were significant and the moments that I would have otherwise forgotten if it weren't for this project. I am forever grateful for this project. For having the last 5 years documented and for all the years I'll continue to document.  Bring it on 2016!
