1. The desire for children- I could never be with a guy that didn’t want a family
2. Loyalty- I am an incredibly loyal person and I expect the same from my husband
3. Driven- I couldn’t be with someone that didn’t have drive
4. Honesty- I’ve been cheated on, not ok with it happening ever again
5. Someone that loves me for me- I know I can be ditzy, forgetful, crazy, lazy, etc. but I never have to pretend to be someone I’m not with Hubby
6. Good listener- I’m a talker
7. Saver- I’m a spender
8. Patient- I’m not

12. Loves my family
13. Gets me to try new things
14. Likes chicken
15. Tolerates my tv habit
16. Doesn’t believe in divorce
17. Tolerates country music- Hubby didn’t request non country music until around hour 10 of our trip last weekend.
18. Loves my friends- I think he might even like them more than I do! He listened to my friend S give all the gory details of birth, he snapped pictures at T’s wedding, and chatted it up with N and her parents. Two of my best friends and I started dating our boys all around the same time and now we are all married and both couples were in our wedding party. I love that Hubby is close with the guys too. I just wish we all lived in the same part of the state!
19. He thinks I’m pretty
20. I think he’s a hottie
21. Forgiving- We all mess up from time to time and he has always forgiven me
22. Shoulder to cry on- I cry like a lot! He is always there for me unless it is because of SYTYCD or something. Then he usually says, “Are you crying?”
23. Assertive- I need a man that can call up the bank or cable company and make sure we aren’t getting screwed over
24. Someone that can surprise me but also tell me secrets he isn’t supposed to- Every girl loves a romantic surprise but when my best friend’s boyfriend tells him he is going to propose he knows he better tell me that!
25. Does his own laundry- We all know I just learned about having clean clothes vs a pile of dirty like 7 years ago. I can barely keep up with my own stuff.
26. Smart- I have my ditzy moments but I also have a college degree and need to have intelligent conversations occasionally
27. Maturity- A man that can be mature when he needs to be is important
28. Does nice little things for me- My love language is Acts of Service. I swoon when he does my chores when I am out of town for the weekend. Coming home to a fridge full of groceries? The best!
29. Words of encouragement- I also need little, “Good job babes!” Every one in awhile.
30. Enjoys fur balls- Right now we have Blue and he is amazing with him. We will definitely have more pets in the future. I always gotta have a fur ball around.
31. No drugs!
32. Doesn’t have an addictive personality.
33. Doesn’t get embarrassingly drunk very often.

37. Eyes I can gaze into
38. Lips I can kiss
39. Short hair
40. No mullet
41. Being nice to servers, etc.- Sometimes things are ridiculous and Hubby isn’t the type (like me) to just eat whatever they give you

50. THE MOST IMPORTANT- Sense of humor- When you are 80 years old at least you will make each other smile

Writer's Workshop
Writer's workshop topic I picked:
What lights your fire? Describe five things you are most passionate about.
1. Children. Some of you new followers may or may not know that I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in the 6th grade. I went to college with that goal in mind and have teaching credential. I was a substitute teacher for 2 years in San Diego and traded in my pencils and dirty looks for answering phones. Teaching is still my number 1 career goal. If that goal is never realized I would like to have a day care in our home or at least volunteer to help in future child's (Magic) classroom. I heard on the View on Monday that Newsweek wrote an article about young teachers not being educated on classroom discipline. That lights my fire!
2. Hubby. You have all seen him. Obvi lights my fire!
3. Dance. It was a huge part of my life and I miss it regularly. So you think you can dance and the DDR help. Someday hopefully we will have enough money that I will be able to take classes again.
4. Customer Service. I like to say I have worked in customer service for 11 years. Really probably longer. Like I said I had the goal of being a teacher for a long time. My parents were great at encouraging me to achieve that goal. They said if that is what you want to do babysit, volunteer, get a job working with kids. I babysat at age 12 and on and volunteered at a day camp and got a job working with kids at 15. I have worked in restaurants and retail and I get so annoyed when I get bad customer service.
5. Animals. Before I wanted to be a teacher, I wanted to be a veterinarian. I love animals but I did not want to have to put them to sleep. Still part of the reason I don't want as many pets as I used to. Dealing with them getting old and dying wasn't something I thought about as a kid. Just got the Blue right now.

Writer's Workshop
I guess Mama Kat moved to another bloggy address and I don't know how to follow people that don't have a follow button. Lucikly someone else I follow did a writer's workshop post so I was able to find Mama Kat again.
There are lots of good prompts this week. Hard to choose one.
2.) If you could have given yourself a snapshot five years ago of what your life is like now, what would the picture be of and how do you think you would have felt about it?
I would send myself a picture from my wedding. Maybe one with all the bridesmaids and groomsmen in it. My 20 year old self would be happy to know that she was married to the amazing guy she fell in love with. I think she would be shocked to know that her best friend Amy was not her Maid of Honor and was not even a bridesmaid.She would be happy to see her cousins and best friends from high school were her bridesmaids. She wouldn't know who the brunette in the fourth spot was (now my future sister in law). She might be surprised to see none of her college friends as bridesmaids. She might also be surprised that Hubby's best friend at the time was not a groomsmen (Sad that we both lost best friends in 5 years). She would be happy to see that the boys her friends were dating at the time were Hubby's groomsmen. She probably wouldn't be surprised by the Target boys being groomsmen.
She would love the wedding dress I picked out. She would probably wonder where we got married because it is no where she has ever been before. She would probably be surprised that it took 5 years to get married.
What she wouldn't be able to tell from the picture:
That Hubby and her are now living in Southern California and that she is did get her teaching credential but is not teaching. She wouldn't be able to tell that her adorable bunny Blue is still alive and loving the apartment. She wouldn't know that she bought a 2008 Nissan Altima just like she had when she first got her license, silver this time instead of ruby red. She wouldn't be able to see that when she moved to Southern California that she found life long friends that sacrificed a lot to travel and be at her wedding. She wouldn't be able to see the 130 friends and family members that were there. She wouldn't know that those former best friends that weren't in the bridal party weren't at the wedding. That the only college friend there was one she met during her credential program.
She wouldn't know that her cousin J was married to a man that loves her more than she ever expected and is planning to take on the family business. That she would have a house in the same zip code as her parents and two little doggies. She wouldn't know that her other cousin K was married too and that they had made the most precious baby boy (especially since she lost the baby weight in the blink of an eye). She wouldn't know that K lives a few hours from home in a cute house with their silly dog too. She wouldn't know how crazy fun her future sister in law is. She wouldn't know that her friend T was engaged and had a house with her fiance close to home with a terror kitty. She wouldn't know that N was living in SLO (abbreviation for a city in California). She wouldn't know that S was married, living 15 mins from her in Southern California, and preggo (we didn't even know at the wedding)!

Thanksgiving to be remembered
I was so excited Mama Kat had a writers workshop today cause I needed some inspiration! Here it is:
A Thanksgiving to be remembered...
Last year was a Thanksgiving to be remembered! I was a substitute teacher at the time so I got the week off and was able to go home to be with my family. My parents and I, my two cousins and their husbands all gathered at my aunt and uncle’s house.
One of my cousins was pregnant! We were all so excited. We looked at pictures of the sonogram. Talked about what his name was going to be. Took pictures with her and the belly. Felt him kick.
Then, as tradition states we must do, we went around the table saying what we were thankful for. I can’t remember if anyone went before me but I started us down the memorable part. I said, “I am thankful for Conner”. I was being serious! I was so excited for him to arrive! A couple people said some stuff I don’t remember now. Then my cousin that was pregnant said, “I am thankful for my husband’s sperm”. I think she was trying to go along the same line as me and was kind of being silly. But she usually says stuff like this. I’ve got another one coming in a little bit. Now I have to give you a little back story. One of my cousins’ husbands works for my uncle. I think after my cousin said she was thankful for her husband’s sperm he might have said something about his sperm too. We were all having a great laugh. Then, it was my uncle’s turn. He started to say, “I am thankful for my son-in-law…” I started dying laughing because I thought he was going to say sperm! But he was going to say something about his son-in-law that works for him!
Anyways, my family is so funny. We always have pee in your pants funny moments when we are together. Seriously, we have them written in some scrapbooks.
Oh wait, you wanted to hear the other funny comment! Now this was a comment my cousin made earlier when she found out she was having a boy. But the story was told again that Thanksgiving night. She was thinking about how strange it was to be having a boy and she said, “I have a penis inside me!” Of course my hilarious aunt said, “Well isn’t that how you got in this situation in the first place?”

Did you like my story? Sorry if my Thanksgiving story didn’t quite warm your heart. It warms mine!
