Day 15: My Dream House

We actually talked about our dream house as a Family Home Evening activity once. I'll see if I can remember what we decided ;)

My dream house will have a spacious kitchen, with cupboard and counter space galore. My tiny kitchen can be a pain to cook in at times...

And also, a dishwasher. But that goes without saying. 

Stephan wants to have a "media room" of sorts, which is basically a room with a top notch sound system and good acoustics. It would be for watching movies, listening to music, etc. It could be where our kids would hang out with their friends and such. 

I don't think it would be quite like this, but we're on the right track ;)

We would have a nice master bedroom, of course who doesn't want one of those? I would love a bay window, with a balcony, and a nice view.

A spacious master bathroom. 

A comfortable living room is also in order :)

If we start saving now, maybe we'll be able to afford a house like this in...forty years. But a girl can dream, can't she? ;)

Day 14: Favorite Shoes

Honestly, I think my favorite shoes are ballet flats. They're comfy, and very versatile because they can be worn with casual or dressier clothing.

I only have one pair of ballet flats right now, because my other ones wore out. I want to find more, preferably in neutral colors.

The pair of ballet flats I own right now....

Are purple.

I'll post a picture eventually--I'm lazy ;)

Day 13: Favorite Outfit

I'm pretty sure the outfit I wore for my most recent pictures is one of my current favorites.


That is all.

Day 12: Something I'm OCD about

I couldn't think of anything from the top of my head, so at first I thought, "Oh, I'm not OCD about anything!" But then I asked Stephan if there's anything I'm OCD about, and he said.....

"Being on time."

*sigh* He's right. I blame it on my dad. You see, he was a bishop for almost six years and he always reminded us that the bishop's family should be on time for church every Sunday. Set a good example, you see. But, his idea of being on time is arriving ten minutes early.

And that has become my definition of on time. I hate being late. A lot. I don't like the awkwardness of it all. I know there are people who don't care, but I do.

Of course, this is bad when I'm part of a religious culture that has MST, which stands for Mormon Standard Time. What is Mormon Standard Time, you say? Ten minutes late.

So there's my OCD tendency.

Day 11: Photo taken of me recently

Well, I guess it's a good thing our wedding photographer had "charitable shoots" last month.

Here you go :)

Day 10: Picture of me taken over 10 years ago

I was about eighteen months old or so in this picture. You can't tell, but I was a grouchy kid that day. In my defense, they were taking way too many pictures and it was taking too long. This is according to my mom.

See those ringlets? Yep, natural. I was the reason for the perm trend in the eighties and nineties. *laughs* That's probably not true, but a lot of mothers at church started perming their daughters' hair to look like mine!

Day 9: Picture I took

I'm not much of a photographer, but...
