101 Things in 1,001 Days

I haven't blogged in awhile.  Apparently because I was accomplishing things from my to do list! :)

Take a look:

#24 Attend a Women's Retreat

This past weekend, I attended my church's Women's Retreat in Round Top, Texas.  Little sleep and lots of talking.  A "totally tubular" time.  (Inside joke).

#31 Clean Out the Garage

Last Thursday, March 25th, Christmas was finally put away.  I had taken Christmas down in January, but all the trees, though undecorated, were hanging out in the garage with all the Christmas decor boxes, waiting to be put away.  All done!

#47  Go through the girls clothes

This took me several days, but I've gone through all the girls' clothes in our house, ranging from size newborn to size 6.  I have many bins for items to hand down to Lydie, for clothes Sophie will grow into, and clothes to keep as memories or give to the girls when they become mommies.

#50  Do 25 random acts of kindness.

Completed 2 more.  Helped someone in the Walmart parking lot and helped a friend.

#71 Fast and pray for one day

I completed this on March 9th.  I was moved my the story of Layla Grace and was troubled by cancer's long arm, touching so many around me.  So, I chose to fast and pray for those I knew who had been affected by cancer.

#56 Visit two state parks in Texas &  #73 Take a spontaneous road trip at least an hour away.

On Friday, March 19th, the Schmitz family and the Alderson family drove out to Brazos Bend State Park and hiked around a bit, took pictures of the alligators and made many memories.  Take a look at some of the pictures!
