Letters to Mr. Right: Letter #15

"I thank the Lord everyday, if I get the chance to pray, for all these blessings, He's given me.  Like living with you, in our small town family dream."  ~Josh Abbott Band, Small Town Family Dream

Dear Mr. Right,

Last week I ended up on a last minute work roadtrip through rural west Texas.  I kinda secretly hope that you live there.

In a small brick house, surrounded by cotton fields.  With two dogs and a tire swing in the yard.  And a John Deere tractor and a beat up Ford truck in the driveway.  And that the house has a back porch that holds a porch swing overlooking the orange sunsets on the western horizon.  Near a town with a sign that says "Population: 2006" and a high school football stadium that holds double that number.  And a tiny church where people sing Amazing Grace on Sunday.  One with a water tower that lists the State Championship titles won since the 1970's and a welcome sign made by the students in FFA.  That's my dream.

Because small town football and a porch swing, a John Deere and Amazing Grace, you and me....well what could be better than that?

Waiting for that day,

Me

(Anyone know a west Texas farmer?  No, but seriously...anyone?) :)

I LOVE it...my dream isn't quite the same: I could do small town, but I don't want rural..

But the point is still the same: wanting someone to live simple everyday life with - little league games, school plays, cookouts, chores, monday night tv shows...

Its funny how at the end of the day, thats what most people want: nothing exciting (like living in paris or having a mansion), but someone who makes everyday life seem more exciting :)

That sounds like a peaceful setting. :) Hopefully you'll meet him soon, but it's always better to be alone than with the wrong person.

Umm seriously we might be soul sisters. I've read all your letters & every line I'm like YEP! Then this?! Oh I I wish to live in rural TX.

Discovered you on Friday's Letters... and let me tell you, if you find this guy, Please pass me his twin brother. This sounds wonderful. The only thing that would make it better is if he were in SC. :)

I'm 37, never been married, and I wonder why I'm single at this point. But I'm ok with it - I figure God's plan is better than mine. :)

Sorry, I've never met someone like that--but Texas is so big, there's got to be one or a few of them somewhere!
