What Characteristics Do You Look For?...

At speech class yesterday one of our "pop question" was "What characteristics do you look for in your future husband/wife?" We had to name five, and for some it was hard, but for others...it was a piece of cake! Alot of the people we saying "They don't have to be good looking, it would be a plus, but if they weren't that's fine" or, "I'm not really into looks". Well whenever something like that was said, one of the guys would be like, "Oh c'mon, I know you care about the looks, don't be modest"...so when my time came, I told the truth.

My five characteristics were:

1-He has to be a Christian, first and foremost.

2-He can't be too emotional, because I'm not a very emotional person.

3-He has to be very patient and understanding to be married to me.

4-He has to be strong (well built, physically fit, etc...)

5- He has to be...SMOKIN' HOT!

After I said that, the whole room started to laugh, and Jake was like "Finally, someone tells the truth!". It's true, looks aren't everything, and I know that his heart is so much more important than his looks, but still...it's would be nice.

Sweetest Song EVER!...

Awkward...

Okay, I am sure that at least once in your life, you have had a horribly awkward moment. A moment where you wish you were anywhere but here, or that you could rewind time and then bypass the whole thing. Well, I'm not asking you to share (unless you feel obliged to), but I'm going to share one of my most awkward moments with you...

About three years back I was going to my friend's birthday party. She lives about 40 minutes away, so my mom met her dad and older brother about half way, I got in their car, and we were off. In the car, we were just chatting about how family was, and how it's so weird how fast time goes by, and that I was getting so much older. Remember it's only my friend's dad, brother, and I in the car, and no radio playing...radio ALWAYS cuts down on the stress level. Anyway, about half way to her house, while we're still talking about getting older, her brother asks how old I am. I tell him, and then he replies with, "Oh, then just there's just a few more years, and we can get married". What?!! That caught me by such surprise (he wasn't joking either), I was speechless. First of all, I'm waaay to young to be married, and second, I've never even thought of him in that way. I've known this family for, I think it's going on 14 years, so that would be like marrying my brother...AWKWARD!!!
