101 in 1001 Update No. II

Happy Friday guys! Seeing as it is the start of a new year and considering I haven't done this in a while, I figured it would be a good time to share with you all another update on how I am doing with my 101 in 1001 List. I created the list in June of 2016, and then posted my first update in October 2016, just shy of five months later. It was amazing to see then what I accomplished in a fairly short amount of time, and it definitely gave me the drive to keep crossing things off my list.

Side Note: If you are confused at what I am talking about here, head to my original 101 in 1001 post to get caught up. Read the post, check out the list, and then head back here! This post will make a lot more sense to you! 

Here we are a year and seven months later from the creation of my 101 in 1001 list, with only a little more than a year to go! Kinda of crazy, right? March of 2019 will be here before I know it, and I hope to have the majority of the items crossed off my list. I will plan on doing another update in about six months and then the final update when the 1001 days is up!

For now, here is an update of what I have accomplished since October of 2016! Enjoy!
