You know way back when in the day when we girls were in Young Women's, our leaders told us all to write down the qualities we wanted in our future husbands someday? Well, over the years I have had several versions of that list, the first saying those silly things like "He has to be 6'3'', blonde hair, blue eyes, etc..." and the most recent is the one I want to share here.
It's kinda funny, because one time I was told by someone: "You know, your not going to get EVERYTHING you want in your future husband." That had never made sense to me, because why not get everything you want in a guy? Obviously you have to realize that certain things aren't realistic, but I would hope most of those lists would be the few things that you will never compromise on.
What's crazy to me is that several weeks into dating Gentry, I happened to look up at my "Marital Spouse Requirements" paper I have tacked above my desk. At I started reading through it, I realized that Gentry, without even realizing it, was checking off every item on my list, and doing/being above and beyond! He's so incredible, I love him to death!
