2015: 101 goals in 1001 days.

We've made multiple lists, posted one once, then deleted it forever on accident. This one is for real. Honestly, being here in NYC is super helpful because this list could just consist of city goals, but we decided to make that a smallish part of the list and still focus on some bigger personal goals, spiritual goals, and goals we have for the boys and as a family.

I'm not sure what these next few years will hold, but I'll try my darndest to make sure we accomplish at least this, and record our experiences here as we go along.
