Day 16: Dream House

My dream house is not so much what it looks like on the outside as much as what I am going to put in it. One very important thing I will look for is a huge yard! You can build and fix up a house all you want, but you can't add a yard, and that is where I want to spend a lot of family summers someday just like I did when I was little. I have seen many houses that I would love to own around here, but have never gotten a picture of one. I know I want to stay around this area though. I decided I would google and find a house that I would picture myself in 10 years or so from now. This house is probably too big as I am used to living in a smaller house, but I do want more room than what my house has right now. I also LOVE the balcony on this one!

Right now, our current dream apartment is most likely in salem, in a two or three family house, that allows a dog and cat, off street parking, at a decent price :]  I took a few pictures of the apartment that a guy from work owns and may rent out to us in December. It is one of the few places I have found that will allow us to get a dog and it is really close to the willows! There is also a pool out back for the neighbors so I would hope to befriend someone and be allowed in it :] Hopefully it is nice inside too!



I took a pic of the apt when we went by it a couple months ago, we would get the bottom floor and there is a family in a townhouse up top.

 

Also took a picture of the driveway that leads to a nice little parking lot out back



Day 15: Bible Verse

I have been ignoring my blog over the past week or so since matt was on vacation, I kind of took one away from the computer and working out :[  gotta get back into the swing of things!

I was not looking forward to this day of the challenge because I am not religious in the slightest. I only received communion and am not confirmed, rarely set foot inside a church, and I do not plan on getting married in a church either. I just find the whole religion thing not suitable for me, but I decided to google a verse that I would like.

"Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. " 1 Timothy 4:12

Every time I am around people slightly older than me that have moved out on their own, gotten married, etc. I feel somewhat intimidated. I just have to remember that I am doing well for my age and need to remain focused on my goals in order to stay motivated and move on with my life.
