The 40X40 kickoff was a huge success! It was so great to have many friends and family join me as I start this journey. My boss even made an appearance...no pictures of that though:) and we were all able to celebrate my good friend Shanon's birthday! She'll probably hate that I put the picture of her in the silly birthday hat I got her on this blog, but she was the reason we were celebrating afterall!
It was so great to take 40 minutes to celebrate each other and everyone went home with the 40X40 mascot "Happy." I'm sure Happy will gain some other nicknames along the way, but for this night, he was simply "Happy!" I am truly blessed and thankful for everyone who supported me for the Kickoff Celebratory event...whether in person, by text, or calling me from all across the country...truly blessed and Happy!
My BFF Michele and some pretty cool work friends!

So, milestone one is down and we are supersonically approaching the next milestone on February 16th. Remember, the one you all are supposed to be helping with??? Come on people, this is hard enough for me to keep track of everything and I desperately need your help! February 16th will mark the 40th day into the Journey and is when I would like to have the list of my future adventures pulled together. Here's a reminder of what you're supposed to be doing to help me with this milestone......
I will be taking your suggestions for what the other 20 parts of my journey will be. What is the one thing you would incorporate if you were doing this journey? What's the one thing you would like to see me do as part of this journey? I can't wait to see all of the cool suggestions. I will be taking suggestions for the next 40 days (until February 16th) and will throw them into a hat and randomly select 20 to add to the journey. Only comments posted on the blog or the Facebook post of this blog entry will count as official suggestions.
Alright, you've got your assignment, don't let me down! Plus, check back tomorrow for info on February's Celebratory Event...it's on the move to Rochester and happening before the 24/7 is up! And as an added bonus, I will be revealing my first bucket list item right here on this blog tomorrow (which most people are going to find completely ridiculous..but hey, it's my bucket, not yours!).
