About Me


Hello to all who happen upon my blog! I'm a young, married, recent college graduate with big aspirations and hankerings for adventures. And if you ask my husband, I'm easily enthused. 

I happened upon a 99 in 999 blog from one of my college friends, Katie, and fell in love with the idea. (Her friend started the original 99 in 999 here!)  I am becoming increasingly aware of my need to have something to look forward to, or perhaps count down or cross off a list; but the 99 in 999 list combined the novelty with experiences that would help me grow as a person, as a wife, daughter & sister, and as a fellow human being. What makes the experience sweeter? Each 99 in 999-er pledges to donate $1 to St. Jude Children's Hospital  for every goal on the list left unaccomplished. That way, as Katie put it, "more children can make and complete a bucket list."

I really, really hope that you create your own 99 in 999 blog. You will be surprised at how many things you'll accomplish, and the wonderful perspective that you will gain by making each day an opportunity to enrich your life and the lives of the people around you.
