Okay, have I mentioned how much I love living in Florida? No? It won't be the last time you hear me say this, but I really love living here! It's hot, sunny 95%of the time, and the beaches are beautiful! It's pretty much paradise living in Naples, Florida. Now, when you put the beauty of an LDS temple and the Florida sunshine together, it's seriously the most beautiful thing ever! I had an amazing opportunity to go up to Orlando, FL this weekend to do some pretty important work at the temple, where I was able to feel so at peace and feel the love my Savior has for me, while being with the amazing youth that I go to church time!
Here's a picture of the Orlando, FL LDS temple!
& here's a picture of myself and one of my really good friends, Brittany!
Despite getting a flat tire on the interstate on our way home, we had such a fantastic time in Orlando and enjoyed each others company. Can't wait for the next trip in 6 months!
I have made a bucket list of 99 things to do. The goal is to finish all of these items in 999 days. For every item on the list I complete at the end of 999 days, I will donate $1 to the St. Jude Children's Hospital.

#67 See a community theater production
I am really excited about getting this one checked off! One of my really good friends who is working the lights for the adult community theater production of Les Miserables this summer was able to get my mom and I tickets to see the show (thanks Katie!). It was at a really nice theater in downtown Naples called Sugden Community Theater, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen! (Besides POTO in NY. Nothing beats broadway in NY.) I may or may not have teared up a little at the end.... Definitely looking forward to seeing another production there hopefully sometime before I graduate!
Here is a little collage of our night!

#32 Find and make 30 new homemade recipes, while adding them to a recipe book (1/30)
So I was feeling kind of bored Friday morning, and I was really hungry, so I decided to find something to make! After looking through my Pinterest boards for half an hour trying to decide on something to make, I finally decided on Apple Cnnamon Quinoa Bites. Not the best tasting, but really filling and super healthy! Check out this link to get the recipe: http://www.andtheycookedhappilyeverafter.com/2013/01/07/apple-cinnamon-quinoa-bites-for-breakfast/
And here's a collage of the making of this recipe! Enjoy!

#99, Inspire someone else to do the 99 in 999 challenge
So glad to have one crossed off so soon! It's a fairly simple item, but I think it's huge that I've inspired someone else to do this challenge (not to mention she's already inspired someone else to do this challenge already!). One of my best friends, Makenzi, has decided to do this challenge as well and she already has her blog up and running! She's so awesome and I can't wait to see her progress during this challenge! Good luck, Kenz!
Oh, and here's her blog if you want to check out her list! makenzis99in999.blogspot.com
Hurray for finishing my first goal! One down, 98 to go!
