I’m not perfect.
I know… don’t fall over. I know it may come as a shock to you. I know your hopes and dreams are shattered.

I know… I know…

But wait, there is more

I have a crazy month. A month that has helped me to remember how incredibly special I am. A month when people didn’t try to make me over into something I am not. A month of people reminding me that I am someone special, who does need work, but special just the same.

With that being said… I want to be married!! Ok, not right now. I’m not desperate, but someday, to the most special-ist guy (at least in my eyes), the one God put here for me. Someone here for a lifetime, not a season.

Mr. Right, not Mr. Right Now.

So… since all of you bloggers are getting to know me, and I am expanding my horizons a little here…. Here is my list, with some explanation. I am passed the point in my life when I think I can change people, that's why I have a list. But knowing God, He has His own list for me.

1. He must be a Christian. I am sorry to those of you who may be saddened by this, but I have well gotten over the fact that I can’t change people. So, that is the number one rule. Life and marriage are hard enough, got to have a center. You know, like a tootsie pop (and I am sure God is appreciating being compared to the center of a tootsie pop). I am not saying I won’t date someone who is not a Christian, but I won’t marry them.
2. He must be able to make me smile without even trying. This can happen in a number of ways, a smile, and funny look, just him. That’s it. But I have a great smile, I should use it.
3. He must respect me. Doesn’t always have to agree, but my opinion counts (just ask me) and I don’t mean it has to be my way… but at least consider it… and NO CHEATING!
4. He must love me (Awwww). Yeah, I know it’s dumb, but I am not marrying someone who doesn’t love me.
5. He must be my best friend. I got some things I am not necessarily proud of (probably no more than most) but I don’t want to have to hide anything. He has to be my friend. I know, another dumb one… but HEY! It’s my list.
6. He must love family. I got a big one, at least my extended one. I got a few sisters who are a little wacky, he better like family, and possibly want to grow the one we will have together.
7. He must love music. HELLO! I love music. It’s so important to me, I want someone to go see Crowder with, sing in the kitchen with… you get the idea.
8. He must like the outdoors, not saying camping in a tent, maybe a camper, but I love the boat, no inside hermits, please.
9. He must be appreciative. I love to give little surprises. Cookies, dinner, silly, things. But don’t start to expect it. I like to do it cuz I want to, not because I have to.
10. Daisies. He must bring me daisies. Not roses, they are a waste of money – and unless they are planted in the ground, I don’t like them, I like Daisies. White ones with yellow center are my faves, none of those crazy colored ones like blue, green, orange, or fluorescent pink.
11. He must let me see all his sides. Even the ones that are not that attractive. I want to be his best friend too.
12. He must go to church with me, we must go as a family. Please refer to #1
13. He must let me be a woman. That means kill the bugs, I can, but I don’t want to. I like to cook and clean, he can help sometimes, but cut the grass – I like to, but like grilling, & plumbing, that’s guys work.
14. This may seem small, but I don’t ever, ever, ever, ever, ever want to take out the garbage. I hate it. HATE IT! Don’t want to do it.

Iknow, the list seems long, maybe I seem picky, but I know what I want.
