Days 15 and 16: Dreams and Kisses

I forgot about the 30-day list yesterday. I was distracted by all congratulations and nice comments on my wedding post and the other reason was that we were out all evening - first I had a midwife appointment (all is well with the little one), then we checked out the new cycle café and lastly we saw the show Stjärnklart, as a treat from one of the consultancies Peter works with. My mum would have loved to come as one of the stars was Jerry Williams - not my favourite though! My favourite in this year's cast is Sarah Dawn Finer - what a voice! Her impersonation of Lady Gaga was great!

So, Day 15, yesterday, was My Dreams. I think all my dreams have come true this year! On the other hand one should never stop dreaming so at the moment - in addition to hoping for a healthy January baby - my number one wish is finding that dream flat. There are very few flats in the size we're looking for right now (2-3 bedrooms) for sale right now and those that are for sale cost a lot, but we're hoping the market will pick up and prices go down as a result in the spring. Fingers crossed!

In the longer term I dream about at least one more child, a new and challenging job (and a long career) and lots of exciting trips with Peter and our mini-mes. And in the future I would like to live in a house, preferably in Enskede, my favourite neighbourhood.

And today's theme is My First Kiss. Well, I told you about that already! It wasn't perhaps the greatest of kisses - that came a couple of years later in eight grade - but it counts! :)
