confessions

i can't write with black pens. it grosses me out. i love blue ink. i will never betray it.

i have been listening to rod stewart and celine dion for hours. please, don't tell anyone.

i am absolutely in love with peonies. looking back now, i'm really perplexed why they weren't in my wedding boquet.



i always wanted to be a contortionist in the circus. until college. (yes, that's pretty far into the game to still want the dream.)

i love love love little kids. i want at least 9. but babies terrify me. i don't know how to hold them right and they smell funny. i think they are so adorable and perfect and i wish i wasn't so awkward around them.

i hate hate hate cats. they're disgusting.

i LOVE flowers but hate the smell of a lot of them.

i am obsessed with the store anthropologie. yet, i can't pinpoint anything from there that i own.



i don't mop nearly as much as i should. our floors are very gross and i should show my gratitude for having tile.

i will never dye my hair dark but i LOVE every girl's hair that is brunette.

i took 10 semeters in school and still have to do 1 more for my internship. and you know what? i hate my major. sociology.

i love the idea of traveling the world and saving people but i want a family and to settle down in one house for the rest of my life. tons of people are in unfortunate circumstances and that is why i pay tithing and pray for them. maybe i need to pray for more compassion too?

i hate being in big cities. the country is magical and a TON more fun to me than any city could ever be.

i LOVE devin's birthdays and SURPRISES. i already have his presents that he doesn't know about :)

i am so so so stubborn. even that took me 5 minutes to admit it to write it down.

i have always loved opera music. (devin listens to it all the time now on his own hahahaha) picture that!

i can never get enough of pillows.



i don't shave my legs nearly as much as i ought to.

i love dressing like a tom-boy most of the time. and i used boy deoderant until i got married.

i love shopping even if it's for toiletries.

i am obsessed with the color mustard yellow.

i read stephanie nielson's blog every single day. she is adorable and totally my hero.

i love getting cute notes from my husband.

i love anything vintage.

i don't take off my make up at the end of the day like i should.

i love crying. i don't know what's wrong with me.



yet, i am almost always happy. figure that one out.

i own a sewing machine and don't know how to sew. help.



questions:

why do i always get dirty looks from old women at church for wearing flats and no pantyhose?



why do people take smiling pictures at funerals? i have NEVER understood that. but then, are you supposed to frown in them? let me know when you know how it's done right.
