So, things have changed. For the better? For the worse? I don't know. (Okay, I think I do know.) But, it's made me think about what I want. I mean, dating again immediately is probably a horrible idea, but I think I should at least know what I want.
1. I want a name. Sweetie, darlin', sweet pea, hey you....anything. I like it. I like how there's a name only one person calls me.
2. I want to be completely open. I mean, it's hard to do, but totally worth it.
3. I want someone who's as excited about Jesus as I am. I think He's great, and I want someone else who does too.
4. I want artsy. Theatre, music, visual art...whatever. I like artsy.
5. I want Mike Rowe-ish. Artsy, but willing to get dirty and see what's wrong with my car.
6. I want a financially independent person. He doesn't have to be rich, but he's gotta hold his own.
7. I want someone who really appreciates my awesomeness. He has to think I'm tops. Because, I am.
Can I afford to be picky? Uh, yeah. Maybe in the rules, I'm not supposed to be at this age, but I am.
And, I just realized this makes me sound crazy. I guess I can own that. :) I guess this is my first "Dana-esque" entry. Ha.
Dana....don't mean that you're crazy! Just very honest. It's hard to be honest. (Looking at what I wrote, it sounds like I'm calling you crazy. You are no crazier than I am.)
ReplyDeleteI love it Julie! I know I'm not crazy-haha- and that's all that matters. I'm trying to learn NOT to care what others think. Honesty is paramount. You have to be honest with yourself first, and then others will know you and you don't have to pretend to be someone else. I could ramble forever and by the way...I want all the same things you do! We should hang with the kiddos soon :-)
ReplyDelete1) You need to be picky - you have two precious babies in the equation. Not to mention that you need a good man. Don't settle for anything less than you are looking for.
ReplyDelete2) I think Mike Rowe is super hot.
3) Good luck as you begin your quest of finding Mr Right. Mr Right + Ms Awesome = ROMANCE!!!
