Future: Children/Bucket List/Home

I love to imagine my future, and I am especially excited to have children of my own. I want to raise them to be polite, honest, hardworking, appreciative, kind, opinionated, understanding, and loving individuals. I want my children to love learning, exploring, reading, being active, laughing, and being themselves.

I would love to have two boys and a girl, or two of each. I need at least one of each gender, so that I can raise my son(s) and daughter(s) to be respectful.

For my future son, I'd love a navy, grey, and dark wood nursery. An outdoor themed nursery with deer, birds, bear, foxes, and trees.

For my future daughter, I'd love a teal, grey and light pink colored nursery. An outdoor themed nursery with deer, birds, flowers (daisies) and trees. I don't know, these are just my ideas.

I am excited to be pregnant. Not for the morning sickness, swollen ankles, and soreness all over... but for the plain feeling of carrying a baby. I can not wait to feel the baby kick. I can sooth the baby with my voice (and possibly my singing voice). I am excited for my family to be excited for me. I am excited to bring the baby home from the hospital and become acquainted in the nursery.

For as long as I can remember, I have thought of possible names for my children. I go back and forth between ideas, but this is what I have so far:

Boys-

Elliott Christopher

Jensen

Dean Walter

Girls-

Kinslee Kay

Joelle

Isabella

For my future home, I would want something that is not too small, but I don't need anything big. The sons can share a room, and the girl will get her own room (unless I end up having more than one daughter) if need be. I'm looking for about 3 to 4 bedrooms total. We also would need at least 2 full bathrooms, a big refrigerator, plenty of counter and cabinet space, and hopefully some kind of breakfast bar on an island in the kitchen. I don't really need a dishwasher, I prefer to wash by hand. Another necessity is a double oven, I love to bake and with the help of Pinterest I want to cook a lot of nice meals and host parties at our house for Sunday Night Football, birthdays, the holidays, or whatever really.

I really, really want a big front porch with a little swing, and chairs so Kyle and I can sit, watch the sun go down, and just relax. Also, having a nice view is important, or at least a lot of acreage to ride our four-wheeler together and find a nice view. In the house I'd like a lot of windows, hardwood floors, and a cute laundry room.
