Marriage: 15 Years In (Part 4)

The depth of my love for my guy has been on my mind a lot this past week (obviously). Part of that is a slower (outside of work) schedule, giving us plenty of time in the evenings to hang out together.

But it's also because I found a really interesting thing in a box of old schoolwork my mom gave me.

As part of an 8th grade homework assignment, I wrote a list of 20 things I wanted in a spouse.

It's remarkable how most of those things are present in my husband - especially #1.

1. Sense of humor
2. Approving looks
3. Personality
4. Financial security
5. Dependability
6. Commitment
7. Compatible interests
8. Responsible
9. Caring
10. Morals
11. Non-smoking/chewing
12. Values
13. Religion
14. Fun to be around
15. Parental approval
16. Understanding
17. Smart
18. Non-demanding (not exceedingly bossy)
19. Loves me
20. Family oriented

Too bad I struck out with #18!!!!

Just kidding. It all goes to show you that you can get what you wish for.
