101 in 1001

I'm a little late jumping on this bandwagon but Joe took a little convincing...  That's right, we've decided to make a 101 things to accomplish in the next 1001 days list!  I've also gotten all fancy and added pages to my blog!  If you're in a reader click over to the site and check it out!  I'll be updating you all whenever we finish anything and keep a running total over on the "101 in 1001" page.  Wish us luck!
