Today is my 100th post. It's taken me a long time to get to 100. That's something I'd like to change. Instead of thinking what I'd like to blog about, I'd like to actually take action and do it. That's my goal for the next 100 - to blog more often.
I decided that for this post I would include 100 things. Ten lists of ten. I could not put them in order 1-10 because I'm very indecisive and trying to rate them would take me forever. This lists are in no particular order. :)

Evidently I have not been in any photos this year because I had to pull this off of my phone. I need to get in front of the camera more so I can prove that I did the stuff too. :)
These photos were kind of like a walk down memory lane.
That's it folks. My 100th post. :) Thanks for reading!
