50 love notes:
Good morning! I'm Ashley from Oklahoma, but my husband and I would definitely like to move far, far away (he would prefer your neck of the woods, actually). My dreams mostly consist of being a great Mother and raising passionate, artistic, fun, cheerful, God loving children. I actually love cleaning, and crafting, and design, and cooking (but not lately because I'm first trimester pregnant and always nauseas) to name a few interests. My favorite book is "Redeeming Love" by Francine Rivers. I LOVE it and read the whole novel in 2 days (those kinds are the best to me). I love reading other's blogs more than blogging (usually). I think everyone else's reasonably mundane lives are very interesting and many of you who I read motivate me in different ways. In one sentence I'd currently explain myself as someone who's SUPER excited to be pregnant with her first kiddo and is very happy about where life is taking me. :)
OK, I will answer, just for you ;)
1. I am from a tiny town in New Mexico and I currently live in the suburbs of Phoenix.
2. I love that I am a planner. I probably get it from my mother but because of it, if I want something I can usually figure out a way to do or get it.
3. I have so many but right now I really feel like my biggest dream is to be a mom.
4. I love to find interesting places to take pictures. It's my favorite thing ever - right now.
5. I'm not a huge reader and I'm sure you've already read this one but I love Pride and Prejudice and I could read it over and over.
6. My favorite thing is that I get to know amazing people like you!
7. I love the simple things in life.
There you go!

1. I've lived in Michigan my whole life. I live in a little suburb north of Detroit called Ferndale.
2. The thing that I like most about myself is my creativity and my quirkiness. I am totally not someone who is easily placed in a box. I also love that I went back to school and have a BA in poetry though it may not be super marketable!
3. I hope to one day open my own bakery. I recently discovered I am quite good at it and that is is a great source of catharsis.
4. I love exploring and photographing nature. Reading, Yoga, music, and spending time with my loved ones are also pretty tops in my book.
5. My favorite book is constantly changing but here are a few I could not live without: The Sea- John Banville, The People Of Paper- Salvadore Plascensia, The Girl in The Flammable Skirt- Aimee Bender, How To Breath Underwater- Julie Orringer, Kafka On The Shore- Haruki Murakami, and Orxy and Crake- Margaret Atwood.
6. I love peaking to to the lives of strangers and getting to see what other people find passion in and about.
7. If I had to describe myself in one sentence I'd say; I'm kind of like the NY Times crossword, it seems really hard to figure out at first but it's easy once you get the swing of it.
lovely idea :)

ok... let me answer those questions:
I was born and raised in Uberlandia, MG - Brazil and I still live here. I'm very friendly and I think that's what I love most about myself, the ability to make friends and the way I can make them laugh. I have so many dreams, but they mostly consist of being a great father and have a beautiful and healthy family. Studying abroad is one of my dreams too, that's why I'm applying for BYU. =D I love simple things in life, like a good walk, listening to some good music, reading... I just love reading, so I can't tell you my favorite one, but I can tell you the one I am reading right now. It is "the girl who stole books". it is very interesting. My favorite thing about the blog world is the unlimited different ideas and views and how we can learn so much from everyone. How can I explain myself? I'm a great friend.
I just love your blog. by the way, I'm Chris' friend. He served on a mission in Uberlandia. Love you guys. I have a pic of you two on a board in my room with some other pics from people I love. Bye
oooo how fun!
1. Where are you from? Where do you live now? i'm from japan. currently, i live in provo, utah.
2. What do you love most about yourself? i had to ask my husband this. he says that i have an unconditional love for the world. i'd like to think that this is true. and i do love that about myself.
3. What are your dreams?
to go to all the temples in the world with my husband. and document that life long adventure and make a book. and to have a happy healthy family.
4. What is your favorite thing to do outside of work and blogging?
traveling. i love going to new places with my husband. and discovering new restaurants. oooo food. we are such suckers for good food.
5. What's your favorite book? (I love reading, and need some good ones) skinny bitch is my favorite right now.
6. What is your favorite thing about the blog world?
you meet so many amazing/inspirational people.
7. If you could explain yourself in one sentence, what would it be?
mmm.... i'm a sucker for life and everything that's in my life.
i just recently found your blog and was intrigued when i found out you were moving to orange county(where i'm from and live). i thought it may be refreshing to see it from a new perspective.
i love how compassionate i am and that i love to be around friends. i think i have a pretty good sense of humor too.
i have academic/career and life ambitions. i like to be independent but NOTHING would be better than finding my life partner, my husband-to-be. i would also love to travel the world to observe and admire different cultures, architecture, and FOOD.
i'm a foodie. nothing beats enjoying a delicious meal with a table full of friends, or even one friend. i especially love sushi and sweets/desserts.
it would be difficult to choose a favorite book. i love to read and write(haha, as you can see).
i don't have a blog, i just follow them. i like seeing people enjoy life in different parts of the world.
all i want out of life is to be happy.
