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.)

We think alike....its cause we are Aries! I agree, no one is perfect and everyone's thought of perfect is different. I guess when you get a little older you realize more and more that it is about your happiness and being with someone that cares for you. The finest men in the world aren't always the best. Keep on with your prince and we will leave everyone else behind.
Is that you Ky? Yep, you're right. Leave all those crazies behind. lol.
But let me make one thing clear, my boyfriend is VERY handsome. lol.
But you're right. It's the fine ones that tend to cause a lot more heartbreak...
This is your mom speaking. I knew you'd get it in your own time..... True love comes from your heart and you know you're there when all that other stuff doesn't factor into why you're with that person. It's rare & a special blessing so enjoy. When do I get to meet him (lol)?
Well ladies...I think my man is FINE!! lol...and he's treated me better than ALL of the "aww-ight" ones. Must I remind you that I was DUMPed by Howard??? So when you find that perfect person for you, thats all that matters. Can't wait to meet him too!!
