I couldn't be more excited to share and begin my second-ever 101 in 1001 bucket list! I began my first list in September 2019, and it wrapped up this past summer. I was able to complete 43 out of 101 items, which I feel like wasn't bad for my first time doing this. (I also think Covid happening in the middle of it didn't help- a lot of the items on the list were off-limits in 2020!) By the way- you can see my first 101 in 1001 list and all of the updates over the years HERE!

It's kind of cool to see how life has changed since I made my first list in 2019. There's some new categories on this list that wouldn't have applied to my life 3+ years ago, like goals related to learning golf, and my dating relationship as well. I feel like I have a decent shot at completing a lot of these, and I am excited to get going! I'll share my first progress update sometime next spring.
God Bless,
xoxo Annaliese
