260 days...

On June 16th, 2011, my 101 project will end.

As of now, that means I have 260 days left to complete what I set out to do. With that in mind, it seems like an update is in order.

Thus, to begin, I slashed out number three which is to create a Kenya scrapbook. The beauty about this being my list is that I can decide when I think something has been done.

So here is the thing about this task. Truthfully, I am never going to sit down and make a scrapbook. When I set out to do this objective, I thought that I could be that person. Two years down the line and I am secure in that fact that I am not and will never be a scrapbooker.

This is just a fact.

I am however, a blogger, as you know. And because of that, I feel as though I have made an online scrapbook for Kenya a hundred times over. Between pictures on my Facebook and writing about Kenya, I would say that the journey has been pretty well recorded.

So paper scrapbook, no. Digital, oh yes. Mission complete then.

Also complete is number eighteen which is to create a budget that I use for a year. I feel like I can go ahead and declare that this has been done because I am living on a year long budget in Kenya. This much goes for rent. This much goes for transport. Shoot, Erin and I even have the envelope system working in our house.

I have become a believer in the envelopes my friend! I wanted to be a budgeter and now I am. Bam! Done.

Okay and number ninety four is to design the walls of a room. Erin and I have nestled ourselves into our first apartment together and so far, two walls have been designed. A vision wall and a wall of hope. More designs are pending in the future.

So I have used 741 days of my 1001.

Already, I see some problems occurring with some tasks on my list that require me to well... be in America. However, I am not crossing those things off as impossible just yet.

Anything can happen in 260 days. This much I know!
