With all my relatives writing little things about their spouses in their blogs and how cute they are, i have decided to sit down and figure out what i want in a husband. probably since the beginning of time, women have sat down at some point or another and tried to figure out exactly what they are looking for. i know i have made probably about a thousand lists. but as you get on in age, i believe, you have to start taking stuff off your list. unimportant things or perhaps, less important things, that aren't necessarily what dr. phil would call "deal breakers". so here it goes my...
TOP 5 THINGS I WANT IN A HUSBAND:
1. compatible sense of humor. everyone thinks they have a sense of humor, but the trick is to be with someone who thinks you are funny, and who you find humorous as well.
2. tolerant and supportive. i need a man that will be tolerant of my somewhat moody tendencies, and be able to roll with the punches. i need someone who will be supportive when i am upset, and not necessarily offer solutions to every problem.
3. good communicator. my man needs to be able to talk to me. about anything. and perhaps even be able to argue with me when the moment calls for it. i don't want a lap dog, but someone who can be a partner in a relationship. i'm not asking for someone who wants to constantly talk about their feelings, but someone who isn't afraid to tell me what he is thinking or feeling when he is ready.
4. low maintenance/independent: i don't play sports and that's okay. my man doesn't have to like watching lots of tv, that's okay. we can be in a relationship and still have our own "things". i think it's fine for him to go play golf with his buddies, as long as it's okay for me to have a girl's night out once in while.
5. good with money. i am horrible with finances and budgeting. i think if we are to stand a chance, i need a man who knows how to balance a check book and say "i don't think we can afford that".
if any of this sounds unreasonable let me know...i wouldn't want anyone to mistake me for being picky or choosy (how do you spell that?)....now of course if you know anybody who would fit this description don't be afraid to hook me up. :)

angie...we are back in town. There is a good chance we will be here for a while. come visit.
Love this list Angie. To me all of it is dead on. I on the other hand had a stupid list that I had to totally throw out the window when the time came. This stuff is real and to me the important stuff.
