Check, check and check! (101 update)

It appears I have lots to update you on!

Number 77 - Write a letter of thanks to a military member, someone I don't know
I took on a little project, something a bit more than I planned on. Several years ago I heard about Soldier's Angels so when I decided to write a note of thanks this was the first place I headed to. Rather than one letter, I decided to adopt a soldier. This means constant notes in the mail and a care package here and there. I'm having a blast shopping for care packages - just like the days James was in the Navy. It's a little tougher this time around. I'm essentially putting together a package for a complete stranger. Hopefully in the coming weeks he has some time to write back and give me some hints as to what he'd like or what he needs. Until then, I'll send random goodies and necessities. Definitely take the time to show your appreciation to our military community, whether it be the military members themselves or their family. They need the emotional support around the holidays, more than ever!

Number 100 - Take a daily vitamin everyday for a month
Boring thing, I know. But it is a habit that I need to take part it. With several things on my 101 list, I know that the time limit establishes my need to start a habit. I've been taking my vitamin every single day. Now I just need to stick with it!

Number 13 - Send out Christmas cards
I'm a tad bit obsessed with receiving Christmas cards in the mail. LOVE them! What better way to receive more cards than to spread the cheer? We went to the Christmas musical at Church and so was my perfect opportunity to get a picture of James in something besides a t-shirt. Amanda was our professional photographer and took our picture. The next day I ordered the cards and some festive postage. Two days later I had my cards but no postage. So I waited and waited and waited. After several calls to the post office and various answers as to policy of when they would arrive, I gave up! Off to the post office I went (not the time of year to go!). I purchased my postage, found a table and stickered my envelopes then off in the mail they went. Merry Christmas to everyone!!!

Number 79 - Help James join the Mason's
More on this tomorrow!
