Oooooo boy ...

Top 16 Things I Look For In My Husband

I was doomed the moment I read Shakespeare in the 9th grade at 15 ... He forever and always pierced my heart to love all things dramatically romantic. Look — it's not my fault my high school english curriculum included "Turn Molly into a hopeless romantic," but it did. Thanks Mrs. Kilgore.

Now knowing this about myself and accepting it wholeheartedly, I of course dream about my future husband! so, here are the top 16 attributes I hope he has!

1. He loves watching scary movies, Lifetime movies, comedy and "The Twilight Zone" just as much as I do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know that was four different genres in one, but they're my favorites nonnegotiable. "Harry Potter" ... you better just get ready.

2. Lets me think birthdays are national holidays and in turn, treats them as such.

Birthdays are my literal favorite holiday. I think the day God brought you into this world is a day to be celebrated with immense grandeur. So I want to marry a man who celebrates right along with me.

3. Will find it adorable and endearing that I'm a klutz and therefore, not athletic in the slightest.

It's ironic that I love athletic men, but please dear Lord don't expect me to hit a volleyball around with you or shoot some hoops. The best I can do for you is maybe swing a bat and go jogging with you. Maybe I'll squat. Who knows? But please catch me when I fall and know that I'd rather paint a picture than throw a touchdown pass and please love me for it.

4. Will wholeheartedly support and push me to achieve whatever life goal I set both before and after our marriage.

Whether it be trying to get an A on a test, trying to win Miss America, or trying to start my own business, please tell me I'm capable and can do whatever I want to if I try. And please be behind me as my biggest cheerleader.

5. Will feed my idea that I am, in fact, a princess and in turn, treat me like one.

Look ... I'm as girly as they come. I love beautiful things. Now, I'm not saying that I want every expensive thing in the world. On the contrary, I want simple things that make me happy. Take me on a picnic. Bake with me. Laugh with me. Hold me when I cry. Tell me I'm pretty. Get me a candle because I love those! It's the small things ....

6. Will make me smile and laugh every single day.

I could care less about money or popularity ... just make me happy. All I want is happy.

7. Wants children.

Deal breaker. I cannot wait to be a mother and I will marry a man who will be a loving, responsible father. End of story.

8. Will let me put yellow in the house because it's my favorite color.

It's bright and happy and the color of sunshine. Need I say more?

9. Will let me have both a cat and a dog.

I want both ... #princess

10. Will do whatever he can to support out family, even though he knows he's not doing it alone.

Coming from a single parent home where I watched my mom struggle, I will marry a man who will help provide. Now, I'm not saying I'll be sitting at home and clean the carpet all day — I will work too. But I refuse to work alone.

11. Lets me sing in the car and sometimes sings along.

Singing and music are arguably the things that most shaped me into the person I am. I constantly sing in the car, the shower, the morning, the mirror...its never gonna stop. So you might as well just sing along.

12. Rings a cowbell beside me even if he graduated from another university.

I bleed maroon and white. I am a bulldog through and through. I am True Maroon. Heck, I'm Miss Maroon and White 2016. I understand that you you graduated from your own university and feel as deeply about yours as I do mine. I promise to support your university if you support mine ... unless it Ole Miss ... in that case, darling we're just gonna divided.

13. Dances with me.

I may not be the best, but going dancing is the number one thing I love to do for fun. So please dance with me. Even if we can't go out, just put on some tunes in the living room. It'll make me so happy.

14. Buys me flowers just because.

Dancing is my number one favorite thing to do, but flowers are my number one favorite gift to receive. I love roses (any color), calla lilies and my favorites are peonies. But honestly, flowers from the side of the road will do.

15. Loves and respects my family.

I don't come from a big family. So that means I'm pretty close to all of them and they're opinion matters to me. Respecting someone should go without saying, but respecting my family is a must. And if you happen to love them and they love you, added plus.

16. Loves the Lord more than he loves me.

Oh the deal breaker of all deal breakers.

I love the Lord. He is my rock, my salvation and my guiding hand. He directs my path and I follow where he leads. He is my sovereign and I trust his plans- including who he's chosen for me to marry. And I want you to be the same way. I want to you cling to the Lord for more than you do to me. I want to look to him for guidance before you look to me. I want you to talk to God about your problems before bringing them to me. He is the one and only person who can give you solid answers. I only hope that I can help the Lord with being the perfect wife to you.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
