BEFORE

AFTER

During our trip to Lincoln to celebrate an early Christmas, we headed to the RailYard, the outdoor ice rink downtown! We had a blast!

I may have held my sisters hand a bit - but I'm REALLY bad at ice skating!)

I had a small dinner party on March 8! I served tortilla soup, southwestern eggrolls and quesadillas!

My Second List {Wrap-Up}

So blogging everything I did on this list didn't go 100% as planned, but I did ok with it. I managed to complete 75 of 101 items - not bad at all! (I completed 79 on my first attempt - so not as good as that, but still not bad.) I still technically have 3 days to go; but I don't think I'll complete anything else... i have a busy 3 days ahead. LOL!!!

I love this project though, and I'm finishing up making my next list (although I already crossed it off - because it WILL be done!)
