If you pick me a flower...

This is excerpted from a blog my friend told me about called "I Am Blessed." It's been edited some since some of my readers are younger girls. This post just totally warmed my heart and made me think about all the awesome ways we can show love to others, how important it is to affirm the guys in our lives, and the special relationship between husband and wife... enjoy!

“If you pick me a flower, I’ll wear it in my hair.

I’ll stash little notes for you where you least expect them.

We’ll make history together.

I’ll wait for you even if you’re late – and I won’t complain about it.

Kindness to cashiers, valets, waiters and maddeningly slow postal clerks who would try the patience of Gandhi is a must.

I will feel safe and most at peace in your arms.

When you’re counting aloud, I will try and mess you up.

I find you magically delicious.

I will let you be right when it doesn’t really matter.

I’ll giggle when you show off and I know it’s just for me.

I’ll hold your coffee while you drive.

I can build a fire without burning the house down.

If you wash the car with me – I promise to wear a white t-shirt for you.

I‘ll hide around corners and try to scare you in the middle of the night... of course, I’ll end up scaring myself and you’ll have to calm me down.

It’s the simple things you do that make me swoon the most.

I love it when you sing to me.

I’ll make you mickey mouse pancakes.

I’ll cover you up and kiss your forehead when you fall asleep watching TV.

I won’t make you wear silly sweaters at my family’s during Christmas.

I’ll grant you three wishes.

I’ll make you laugh.

I will marvel at your strength.

I’ll take care of you when you’re sick.

I think it’s hot when you come home all dirty from playing or working hard.

My heart will skip every time you walk through the door.

My kisses will take your breath away – seriously.

My quirks and oddities have been deemed ‘adorable’ and I will love you more everyday for all of yours.

I’ll hold you when you need it.

I will give you space when you need it.

I will let you be you.

You’ll sleep better when I’m next to you.

I’ll thank you every time you open a door for me.

I’ll never give you grief in front of your friends.

I won’t ever let you leave for work in the morning without your lunch and a kiss.

We can watch your movie first.

I’ll clean the house perfectly every time your mom comes by.

I like horror movies only when you’re with me and only as long as you hold me close.

I love it when you lay your head on my chest.

I can balance a checkbook.

I can never turn down a challenge.

I’ll fit perfectly in your arms.

I’ll understand if you get jealous – and do my best to show you that you have no reason.

I can totally keep a secret.

I’m pretty darn funny and will do anything to make you laugh.

You will always look hot to me in the morning.

I think it’s cute when you eat off my plate.

When you’re sleeping, I’ll try to stay quiet.

I’ll call when I say I will.

Treat me like a woman and I’ll treat you like a man.

To clarify: I’m not looking for a fix-up project, or anything of that sort. I’m looking for a man who quite simply adds something extraordinary and special to my life. And I to him. A fair exchange, an amazing mind, body and soul connection and a place to build something magnificent. ”
