Thanks, Ryan!

After following Ryan's "100 Days of Awesome" blog, I decided to jump on the bandwagon and try some "awesomeness" myself!

The Day One assignment was to recruit someone new, so I emailed Liz and she accepted the challenge.

The Day Two assignment was to write 100 awesome things, so here they are:
