Dear Future Husband…

Hey hun! If you’re reading this, I want to let you know a few things before God sends you my way. It’s kind of hard not knowing who you are yet, but I still have faith that you’re out there in the world somewhere. Hopefully you like to read, and you’ll get a chance to read my article (after all, it’s for you!)

I know I’m young, and I have my whole life ahead of me—well by young, I mean I’ll be 24 by the end of this year—but that doesn’t mean I’m not looking forward to your arrival! Time really does seem slow when I’m waiting for the man of my dreams.

On the other hand, I shouldn’t say ‘man of my dreams’ because I’m pretty sure Shemar Moore is a little occupied right now (but a girl can dream).

Often I think, how will we meet? Will I be grocery shopping in my sweat pants and messy bun? Then maybe we’ll check out in the same line and we’ll lock eyes and you won’t even care that I’m dressed like I should be in bed. Or maybe you’ll be working at my future job, and it’ll be like in the movies! It’ll be my first few days, disoriented, I’ll drop all of my books right as you’re passing. You are a gentleman after all, so you’ll bend down to help me (cue slow love music here), we’ll become instantly inseparable!

Why so impatient? Well… in 2016, it’s hard being a virgin, especially at 23, so I’m gonna need you to make an appearance future husband! Even though I’m dating someone right now, and you might be too, that doesn’t mean I’m not waiting for you baby!

I’m a strong believer that every relationship doesn’t last forever, some are meant to be for now. That’s because we’re supposed to learn and grow from every relationship so that we’re a better person for the next.

Oh okay, I see what you’re doing here God. I’m not the person I’m supposed to be yet, and my future husband isn’t the right man yet. We have to experience life before we make a lifelong commitment!

Wow, now that I wrote this, I’ve come to a better understanding. Patience is key… Thank you God for giving me clarity and understanding. For all of you ladies out there that are waiting like me, I want you all to know that patience is a virtue that will work with you on this one (even though it’s a virtue I don’t possess).

Dear future husband, just know that I love you already, and I can not wait until you enter my life. I hope that you are just as handsome, intelligent, and as breath taking as I imagine you are. I hope that you’re thinking about the thought of me as much as I think about you.

I love you.
