Day 20: Favorite movie/song

My all time favorite movie is Love Actually. Its such a fantastic story of love. My favorite quote in the movie is right at the beginning it literally brings goosebumps to my skin every time. Here it is:

 "Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often, it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaking suspicion... love actually is all around."

Picking a favorite song is impossible. I love music way to much to be forced to pick just one. Plus different songs bring back different memories or feelings that mean so much to me and I can't choose from all those songs with memories attached, they are all my favorites. I love when a song pops up on ITunes that I haven't heard in a while, but I am taken back to a place several years ago laughing and sining with friends. That is truly one of the best feelings in the world.

Day 19: Nicknames

I've always wanted a super-cool nickname. Here are some that I've had

RHLS (Red Head Little Snot): One of the counselors at my high school that I was really close too used to call me that. It always made me smile. If he saw me in the hall he'd shout "how ya doin' today RHLS?" and it was always funny because my friends always asked me who he was talking to and what that ment.

Sugar: My Gramps calls us granddaughters that

Shan: My Gramps uses this one some times too, Gram uses it almost always as well as Kelsey and Jordan

Shanner: This one started in college I can't really remember how

Shay-shay: My best friend Kate's husband came up with that one for me and still to this day calls me Shay

Day 18: Plans/Dreams/Goals

Dreams are big right now for both Aaron and I. We are anxious for all this med school stuff to be over and to actually be able to  "start" our lives. We dream about buying a house in Colorado with views of the mountains, and sipping our coffee on the porch on the weekends, watching our dogs and children running around in the yard. We also talk about what features we'd want in our home. I of course want a nice open kitchen, with an island that has seating for the kids to eat breakfast at. I also want a master bathroom with a walk-in shower, seperate his and hers vanities and a jacuzzi bathtub with a big open window looking out at the mountains. Aaron's only request....a "man cave". Here are a few more of our Big house dreams....


A wine room. How cool would having a wine room be?!


It would be fun to have a movie room to watch movies with our family and friends


I'd love to have one wall in a living room or sitting room be floor to ceiling book shelves. I have always liked the look of that.


Then, of course, there are children. We definitely want a couple of those :) I personally would like to have one or two of our own then adopt one. There are just so many children in the world that need warm loving homes and I'd like to provide that for someone if we are able. I still have to convince Aaron, but I'm sure he'll catch on :)

AND.......more dogs!!!!! I think we are going to have to live somewhere with a lot of land because we also want a bunch more four-legged babies!

We dream pretty big around here because it gives us something to look forward to and something to work towards. Med school can be pretty taxing on both of us and dreaming is our way of getting through it.

Day 17: Someone I'd switch lives with for a day and why...

Hmmmm..... this is a tough one! I think I wanna say Oprah. She knows so many people and has so much money that for that one day I could literally go anywhere and do anything. So that would be pretty cool. On the other hand I wouldn't mind being Victoria Beckham, it wouldn't be too shabby to get to hang out with her hunky hubby all day!!!!!! (no offense sweetie, I still love you and think you are as hunky as they come)

Who would you want to trade with?

Day 16: Something I won't Leave the House Without

Mascara. Yup can't live without it. Even if I am in sweats, a t-shirt, and haven't brushed my hair in a week, I WILL NOT go anywhere without a quick swipe of black mascara. I have eyelashes the same color as my hair, so they are barely visible without mascara and it makes me feel like a freak! I love mascara. <3<3<3<3
