Whoo hoo! I actually completed this list! (Ha, that's one thing crossed off already!) Any how.. this really made me think about what I actually want to get done this year!
Do you have any goals you want to reach?
As an update, be watching for the photography winners post! I've got it written but, but I'm working out a few details. :-) So, it's almost here!
It is just beginning to snow... argh. Usually I would have LOVED the snow. However, we still haven't gotten rid of all the snow from before Christmas. The problem is that our mile long driveway is more like the ditch in the road than an actually ditch. So, all the snow that the grader pushed up on the side has just been running into the road. Talk about a MUDDY mess. Ick. It is absolutely awful! So, I was hoping we'd get it dried out and get a ditch dug along the sides of it (Joshua's and my project). Oh well. Hopefully it will at least freeze so mom and dad can get down the road.
They went away for the weekend to just spend time together. Nice for them, and we've had a blast. ;-) *evil grin*. Ok, ok, we've actually behaved ourselves quite nicely. We cleaned house and didn't do anything too drastic.. except for the fact that the boys are building weapons.
If that last paragraph concerns you, please don't let it. For one thing, they aren't totally dangerous weapons. Josh got a book for Christmas called "Mini Weapons of Mass Destruction.".... hmm... ok, you're right. That should scare you. Especially the look on his face when he opened it! AHHH!!!!! Ok, I'm calm now. Then, Caleb got three books. "Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things", "Sneaker Uses for Everyday Things", and "Sneakiest Uses for Everyday Things." Don't those sound fun? Certainly not as destructive as Joshua's! ;-)
I hope everyone is enjoying the new year so far!
In Christ's Service,
Sarah
P.S. Sorry for the weird paragraph formatting. I finished typing my list on here, but started in a Word doc. Somehow it messed up the blogger format or something....

Loved your list, Sarah! I can't wait to see upcoming posts on each. =)
Haha, the books your brothers' got sounds JUST like something my brother would like!! Right now he has been designing and making his own knives (for looks and outdoor camping purposes only!!)
They are really very well done- your brothers would probably love to see them. =)
Argh, please send that snow HERE! We haven't gotten any measurable snow yet, and there isn't any forcasted either. It's quite sad, really. It doesn't seem like winter at all. =(
Okay,I have to go- we're re-watching Lord of the Rings tonight (we're on the last movie). Once we finish I will have completed my first item off my list! Yay!!
Love,
Samantha
Samantha,
Thanks! I'm excited about it now! It was sure hard, though, coming up with that many things! haha!
Ooh! That just means we need to get together, right? ;) I have to say that it makes me quite curious as to how in the world he is making them. Making knives sounds like a very meticulous task, or very difficult, to say the least.
I'm trying! It just refuses to budge! And trust me, I'd love to send it your way! I know what it's like. Winter just isn't the same without SOME snow. I'm praying that you get some. :)
OOH! We started watching them again with a friend we went and visited. She had the extended edition of all three (we'd seen 2&3in extended, but not 1). However, we didn't even finish the first one! But, I really want to finish it, now that we've started it! Glad you'll get to cross it off your list!! :)
Love ya!
You have a very industrious list! I have to be honest. I'm not sure if I could complete 102 things to do in 2012. I might just go bonkers trying, ha, ha! :)
BTW, are you still using your Word Press account?
WOW!! What an ambitious list!! I think I might work on a 10 point or 20 point list. I'm too wimpy to write down 100 things (unless I put get out of bed a few times..haha). I do want to encourage you to make the recipe and sew me one, too!! LOVE YOU
Those are all very, very good things!! =) You're definitely going to be busy, and you've given me so many great ideas! I too need to work on becoming a better actress and a lot of the other things you said. Thanks for sharing!
I also need to finish at least one of my books this year. ;) I love writing but I never finish them!
-Lily-
wow, that's a good size list. *wink, wink*
darling, Sarah, thank you SO SO SO much for the support on my blog...you are such a sweet friend, and I am so blessed that the Lord gave me dear followers and friends like you!
love ya,
Grace
come stop for tea @ gracesgardenwalk.blogspot.com
Mara,
Well, I don't know if I'll complete everything. I tried to keep them simple. Things I felt that I could actually accomplish! ;) Yes, I'm still using my wordpres account. I haven't posted a whole lot, though, because I'm cooking up a little something starting in February. So, keep your eyes open! ;) Thank you for commenting!
Momma,
Yeah. ;) But, like I told Mara, I tried to keep the things simple and small. I feel I can probably finish everything! (although, I suppose the painting depends on weather or not we actually get to that this year!) Donuts coming right up! I'm thinking that dress is perfect for around the house! Nice and comfy looking. ;) Love you!
Lily,
Thank you for your comment! :) I'm glad you got some inspiration from the list. You write, too? neat! Yeah, I've got about 15 books started.. but never finished! Course, some of them I started when I was really young, and story line just isn't worth finishing. ;) haha!
Grace,
Thank you for your comment, dear! It's always wonderfu to have you come visit my Lilac Grove! ;)
You are very welcome. :) Your post was very encouraging to me. I'm glad that the Lord put our paths together and that we got to 'meet'! May He bless you this year, Grace! I will do my best to stop by for a spot o' tea more often. :)
Great list, Sarah :)
Oh, and don't worry...I haven't forgotten about your question -- I still need to talk with my dad :P
Blessings~

1. Finish the 90 day reading plan. Don't take it in the sense, that I *want* to finish it really soon.... I'm really enjoying it ;) It's just something I'm doing this year.
2. Memorize 2000 new verses... all books that are 6 chapters or shorter in the NT, along with Hebrews (or Romans, Mark or 2 Corinthians) and the 2010 Bible Bee verses. Oh, and add those verses to Memverse.
3. Write more poems. 'Nough said
4. Get my drivers permit. I just need to read that intimadating drivers manual.... how old do you have to be to get your liscence in PA? You have to be at least 15 1/2 over here, but we only have to get 40 hours, not 50. How much has to be night driving?
5. Journal regulary...something I'm terrible at.
6. Participate in the Bible Bee :P
7. Finish Physical and Biology in school and start on Chemistry (I'm really, realy looking forward to Chemistry :P )
8. Read lots of big books.... now I just need to find some
good ones.
9. Practice more on the piano and start working on flute *faithfully* (notice the word "faithfully"...)
10. Write a short summary for every book I read (this was my older siblings' idea, not mine...)
Also, I haven't forgotten about your comment...I just need to talk with my dad about it :P
Blessings~
Bethany Joy
