my man

the other day my friend abbey made a list of all the qualities she wants in her perfect boy, and i decided since i haven't made one of those since i was like 12, that it was probably time to update it :)

therefore, off we go...

• he has to be taller than i am, speak another language, be musically inclined and mildly attractive. those are my only shallow/physical requirements haha
• he has to make me laugh. i absolutely cannot be with somebody who doesn't have a sense of humor.
• he has to be romantic and spontaneous, but only sometimes.
• he has to like my music. i think telling someone they have a good taste in music is probably one of the best compliments you can give someone. and liking the same music makes car rides much more enjoyable.
• he has to have goals and plans and dreams. i don't want to be with someone who is content with not growing and changing and doing things with his life. ambitious people are happier, and more successful.
• he has to love me and respect me for who i am. he has to love the things about me that i don't even love about myself. he has to want to be better everyday with me and grow along side of me.
• he has to love his family, especially his mom and sisters. because that is how he'll treat me. my family is everything to me. and he has to appreciate that.
• he has to get along with my family and my friends. i can't be with somebody who my family and friends don't love. when you marry someone, you marry their family too.
• he has to take me to the temple. i think that's the most important. i can't and won't settle for anything less than a temple marriage.

i think this is probably a work in progress. but it's at least better and more realistic than the list i made when i was 12. so, you know...

i want a love like johnny and june, like noah and allie, like my grandma and grandpa

that's all, really
