Never say never

Like most women I had a detailed idea in my head of my Prince Charming and never thought I’d stray from what I wanted.

Someone who’s…
…college educated
…employed in corporate America
…taller than me – at least 5’10
…equipped with a great sense of humor
…a hopeless romantic
…sensitive
…caring
…blah, blah, blah

Unreal.

As I continue to meet people I realize that part of growing up is realizing that no one is perfect. Not even me. (Can you believe it?) So who am I to expect perfection when I can’t offer the same?

I also realize that prince charming comes in different shapes, sizes and backgrounds and my prince charming could be the next girl’s frog.

Now I’m with a man that is hilarious, taller than me, and caring, but…
…never went to college but is smarter than me most days. (Ok, everyday. Lol)
…doesn’t wear loafers or button ups but has his own style that I love just as much.
…isn’t a hopeless romantic but does things in his own way that makes me feel special and cared for.
…doesn’t work in corporate America but works to defend his country everyday and is trained to do things most folks can’t do.

This is my prince charming and he’s nothing that I imagined or expected – he's even better.

(Thanks Bestest!…our conversation earlier today got me to thinking and made me want to write this.)
