Mission Accomplished Part #1

I did it! There were times that I began to question as to whether I would make it or not. When I made my list in the beginning I tried to include things that were feasible to complete. This list of tasks was more challenging than I expected it to be. I was determined to be successful though. I linked my last recipe to our family site at 2:45 am this morning which is the time I was born. :) There are a number of items on the list that I need to continue to practice, but this challenge introduced me to some new talents to develop. It's been fun. Our family recipes will continue to be a work in progress as we add to it over the years. I have a few more recipes that I'd like to work on adding to it right away.

As I reflected on my list and coming to its close, I had mixed emotions about it. I'm definitely ready for a break from making goals for myself for a bit. On the other hand, I think I've enjoyed the challenge that this provided. 

Thank you to all those that helped me along the way.
