i promise...

I promise to graduate from college, at least twice.

I promise update my curtains, carpet, and couches enough times that my house never feels like some other century.

I promise fall more in love with Alex every. single. day. I also promise to give him a back rub every day for our first year of marriage, but only because i lost that bet :(

I promise to never take pictures of myself in the bathroom mirror, or while I'm driving alone in my car.

I promise to go to the tulip fair next year, and I promise Alex WILL come with me. And he'll like it.

I promise to name my kids names I love... but consider their elementary school years in my decision. I WILL have a daughter named Etta, even if I have to name my son Buck.

I promise to never ever ever take a kissy-face picture, unless it's specifically meant to make fun of kissy-face pictures.

I promise to always live by or in mountains.

I promise I'll still listen to Bob Marley when i'm 83, and my babies will listen to bob marley from the day we CONCEIVE ONE :)

I promise to always be a Bountiful Brave.

I promise to never grow up all the way.

I promise to never stop loving old things, old people, and old ideas.

I promise to always keep up with holiday and family traditions.

I promise to make myself and Alex create a love for Christmas once we have babies so that they won't feel deprived because of their bad-attitude parents.

I promise to get a rocking chair one day very very soon and keep it forever. And if it breaks I will get a new one. And I will get one for Alex and we will always always have rocking chairs to rock in. and eat quesadillas and yell at all the neighbor kids to get off our lawn.

I promise to more than "stay in touch" with my best friends for the rest of my life.

I promise that I will keep my baby blankets until I die.

I promise that all my babies will get baby blankets to love and keep forever.

I promise that I will let my kids wear ugly stuff, like light up shoes, but probably only a few times since I don't really want them to wear ugly stuff.

I promise that my relationship with Alex will always be my number one in life. and if we absolutely have to, we'll take lots of trips to far away places together, just to check up on our relationship.

I promise that I will always feel weird to have unpainted toenails, and I'll be rich enough to get two pedicures every month even when I'm old.

I promise that I will fulfill "My List of Uncommon Things to Do." Including number 12.

I promise that I will always have a crazy-weird love for traffic cones.

I promise to "teach my kids with cows," even if we never have cows.

I promise that I'll try to remember that I promised to do all of these things on May 13th, 2010, 57 days before I marry my love and best friend.
