18. Spend more time with my nephews - invite them over or take them somewhere at least ten times

The boys are over right now, spending the night. We played a stinkin' long game of Phase 10 that we didn't even finish and now they're watching a movie and going to bed (on our sweet pull-out couch that they think is the most amazing thing ever). Tomorrow we're going to see a movie.

63. Make a scrapbook of Chase

Yay! I finally did this!! I've been taking pictures all summer and working feverishly on this book to give it to his mom today. This September is one year of me watching him, so this was my way of comemmorating it. It's so cute!! Here are a few of my favorite pages:

This is the cover.

19. Have more girls’ nights with my sisters
Friday night I went to a movie with my sisters (The Nanny Diaries). We shared popcorn, pop, gossip, and laughter. I love them!

62. Take more pictures of Chase
I've been taking a gazillion pictures of the kid. I just printed them all and there were hundreds of them.

102. Go out for breakfast with Justin
Today we skipped church and went to IHOP. It was delicious and nice just to hang out together. Go us!

In case you haven't noticed, I've been adding to the list - it's not just 101 anymore. :-)

26. Get caught up on scrapbooking

I've been working on my wedding album. I usually love scrapbooking, but this one is so hard for me. I feel like my wedding album needs to be perfect and elegant and classy looking. I'm terrified of ruining my pictures, so I haven't done any cool cutting or anything. Mostly I'm just pasting them down and putting a few little decorations around them. Not real creative.

71. Have a Dawson’s Creek marathon with Niki

On Saturday, while Justin was away at Cedar Point, Niki and I spent 12 hours watching Dawson's Creek - Season 5. Lol. We are ridiculous. Actually we took a couple breaks for dinner and to say good-bye to Jen who is leaving for college this week, but we spent most of the day glued to the tube. It was really fun just to hang out with my sisters for the day. Libby was there, too, though she wasn't too thrilled about watching Dawson's Creek. After about six hours we got a little loopy and started wrestling and sitting on each other. Libby poured water down the back of my pants, which of course resulted in somewhat of a water fight. And then we did a few handstands and cartwheels. We're a strange bunch, but we love each other! Unfortunately, we didn't even finish season five, but that just gives me an excuse to go back and do it again!! I love my sisters . . . and I love Dawson's Creek.

42. Go for more walks with Justin
87. Go to the beach four times (twice a summer)

I know these aren't terribly interesting to read, but I just want to document doing them, so feel free to skim.

Justin and I took a walk on Saturday. We had been really lazy all day and I was feeling fat, so we walked down to the gas station and bought a pop. Haha. It's so not a long walk, but it really hurt me. Ugh. I need to get in shape.

And then we went to the beach on Sunday with some friends from high school. It was a terrible day for the beach - cloudy and cold (I wore jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt the whole time), but we had a lot of fun just hanging out together and making memories. I'm going to write a more detailed entry on my xanga, so refer there if you please. :-)

3. Buy a curling iron
95. Put all my old pictures in albums

I finally bought a curling iron last night at Meijer thrifty outlet. It was only six dollars. Woohoo! Now I just have to learn how to use it. That's the hard part . . .

And I spent 2 and a half hours last night putting my pictures in albums. I bought another album that holds 200 pictures and filled it with summer 2003 through Christmas 2004. Pete's sake, I have too many pictures. Then I filled one of my old albums with the rest of my pictures through spring 2005! So now I'm caught up with the pictures I have printed. In July of 2005 I got a digital camera. But that's another number on my list. . .
