Dear Mr. Right,
When I was in college, I had a list of qualities I thought I needed to find in you. Things like the ability to bench press my weight. Have health insurance (I was quite practical for a 20 year old). Never wear flip flops. Know how to put your hand on the small of my back when walking into a room. Beat me in a game of 1 on 1. Have a job. Not believe in dogs sleeping in the bed. Wear cologne that made me weak in the knees. Propose in the correct manner. Know how to ride a horse and have branded calves.

And now? I think I'd throw that entire list in the trash so long as you really love me. I haven't lowered my standards, but I've grown up. Which is why it's probably good you didn't come along when I was 20. Because I might have missed you.
(But if you happen to ride a horse and smell really good, well I wouldn't mind that much.)
Waiting for that day,
Me

As a dog lover, I do encourage you to allow dogs on the bed if your future Mr. Right wants it. Trust me, it can cause a lot of unhappiness (especially if a dog that he already owned has been used to sleeping on the bed for years).
I will overlook your request to not allow dogs in your bed lol ;) God has the perfect man out there for you. He will definatly provide you with what makes you the happiest :)

I'm one of those lucky "dog on the bed people" She stays at the foot of the bed and gets too hot after 15-20 minutes and jumps down. BUT, if I tell her she has to sleep on her own bed (beside mine) she will do it.

ps. I would like to hire you to write letters to my Mr. Right. You always say what I would like to say to Mr. Right. This series is one of my FAVS!
Maybe I haven't grown up. I'm kinda liking the list. ... maybe that's what's wrong with me. :)
As we mature, that list on the back of the door seems sillier and sillier, huh?
Except for things like a job and health insurance. Those are never gonna go out of style. :)
I used to be the same way, have a timeline of what my life would be like, etc. And then I did get married, and that list of qualities went out the window, and my timeline went out the window too! I've learned to just take life as it comes, and not be too worried about a timeline that you're "supposed" to follow. I thought we'd have kids within 5 years of being married, but we're coming up on 5 years this year, and there definitely aren't any little ones running around yet!
And yes, as long as he loves you and makes you happy, all the other stuff will fall into line :)
Owwww that is so sweet. I love the bit about the hand in the small of your back, I agree its how a man acts around others introducing you in the right way and making you feel safe and welcome that really makes you feel good. Thats a true gentleman right there :)
