Dear Jane, ...

I was having a conversation with someone today about what they are looking for in a future spouse...and I began to think about some things that I would like in a mate. These aren't fundamental core values...more like helplessly romantic ramblings...

I want...

When she sheds her tears I want to look into her eyes and think, "There isn't a thing in the world I wouldn't do to keep you from crying."

When I look into her eyes I want to know that she loves me as much as I love her.

When I look into her eyes I want to know that if I desired, I could look into them forever...and I would love every minute of it.

I want to roll over in the morning and have her eyes be the first thing I see...and then go bring us some breakfast in bed.

I want to look in her eyes and think, "Wow, you are undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the world, and God created you just for me."

Go ahead and laugh. It's okay. If I was in your place, I'd probably do the same thing too. It's not like I'm sitting around my house grumbling about how I don't have this. On the contrary, I'm actually fully embracing single life. There is so much you can accomplish on your own...but someday God may place someone in my life, and I can't wait to experience these emotions outside of my imagination.

I can't wait to meet her, but in the words of Michael Buble, "I just haven't met you yet."
