I love your list, Ter! It is so cute that you and Ryan are doing the list together, and I bet that makes it a lot more fun for you. I finished mine, also, and I start on Sept. 1st as well, so we'll have to keep each other motivated. Love you!
fabulous! i cant wait to watch you guys complete them all :)
I think it's great that you are both going to work on your list together and support each other. All the best with your goals! :-)
Until #27 is complete, the Sterns will not be spending Christmas with the Greenbaums. :)
Hey, Rent is coming to Austin this Spring or Summer, can't remember which. So, I think that you should come and see it here with Jeff and I. Love you guys!
