Sharing is caring!

Tomorrow I turn 35 which means that 1,095 days have already gone by since I had this idea to do 105 in 1,095 days. Before moving forward, I thought it would be fun to do a 105 in 1,095 review.

105 in 1,095 Review

In case you’re new around here, on my 32nd birthday, I created a list of 105 things I wanted to do by the time I was 35 (3 years or 1,095 days).

The full list can be found HERE.

Yesterday I updated it.

Did I complete all 105? Not even close.

But was I shocked by how many things I did do? Yes. Absolutely yes, especially some of the big things.

Here are my top 7 things I crossed off from the list:

1. Number 3: Finalize Samarah’s adoption (It’s crazy to think that just three years ago she wasn’t even adopted yet.) 
2. 7: Adopt baby/child #2 (Isaiah)
3. Number 14: Begin writing a book (That would be Gravel Roads)
4. 33: Get baptized (again) 
5. 59. Be in our forever home (or have a plan for it) (We are not in it, but the plans are set to move in this upcoming fall or early winter, 2018!)
6. 74: Make a vision board 
7. Number 4 from the bonus list: Samarah’s Gotcha Day video (we made not one, but 3 of them!)

And these are the top 9 things I wish I could have crossed off from that list:

1. Number 4: Go to Vietnam
2. 11: Do 7 unassisted pull-ups (that said, I guess I didn’t even try)
3. Number 27: Read the Bible (ugh)
4. 38: Take an official food photography class (nope, still haven’t done this….a couple random ones online, but nothing in-person)
5. Number 58: See Miranda Lambert in concert  
6. 67: Go on a mission trip
7. Number 77: Begin concept and implementation of: “You Got Smoothied” or “You Got Real Food-ed” (surprising people with random drops of goodies, real food style vs. the standard chemical, additive and preservative-laden junk) (this one wouldn’t have been hard, I just forgot about it)
8. 87: Write The Gutsy Girl’s Bible: an approach to healing the gut, 3.0 (It’s ALMOST done, and will release during my 35th year!)
9. Number 89: Have my Social Media Content class become an online program in addition to an ongoing on-campus class (However, I eventually want to put the content together in an e-book for anyone to consume since I spent like a hundred hours building it out!)

Unexpected

The most unexpected thing that was not on the list was to finalize baby #3’s adoption.

When I created that list, all I wrote was, “(begin the process of) adopting baby/child #3.” 

It still seems unreal to me that during the past 1,095 days we finalized 3 adoptions! 

I am so glad I made the 105 in 1,095 list because I would return to it from time-to-time to see what I had accomplished, and to be reminded of things I wanted to cross off next. 

What I learned, looking back, is twofold:

1. 105 things, whether they are small or not-so-small, are hard to accomplish in 1,095 days. When I made the list, I thought (for most of them anyway) “Easy peasy squeezy. I have three whole years to get these done.” But three years goes by in the blink of an eye, and even though it seems like such a long time, in order to accomplish 105 specific things, you’d have to be very planned and intentional almost daily.
2. The best things cannot be planned out. They totally just happen, sometimes (usually) when least expected. But that said….

My new list is almost complete, and I’m going to share it with you tomorrow for my birthday!

Xox,
SKH
