Letter To my Future Wife,

Letter To my Future Wife,
I hope this letter finds you well, and in good spirits... I've been thinking about you a lot lately. As you can see, I like to write, and I hang out a lot here at www.naijapals.com. I'm actually at work right now, and just decided to write you this letter. It's kinda long, but I think you'll find that it will be worth your while to read it. These are things that you should prob'ly know about me.
By my nature, I'm a complex person. I wish I could say that I'm 'a simple man', like Skynard or Charlie Daniels, but I'd be lying... and lying is something I try not to do very often. When I say I'm complex, what I mean is that I have a wide array of interests and things I like to do. This list includes, but is not limited to:
Horse Riddin
watching football on Sunday
2-stepping
skydiving
bowling
working out at the gym
learning
listening to all types of music
Singing
going to the piano bar
sitting at the house doing next to nothing sometimes...
You may wonder how I have time to do it all... to tell you the truth, sometimes I wonder how I do it all too... I try to prioritize things the best I can.
When it comes to work, I'll be honest and tell you that I don't like my job very much right now. It's not a tough job by any means, I just don't enjoy what I do. But don't worry about this affecting the way I live my life... I'm smart enough to realize that it's just a phase in life, and that I won't be doing this job forever. As for the rest of my career plans, I'm taking things one day at a time. I don't know what point in my career I'll meet you at, so it's tough to say what the future will hold in that regard.
Unless I already know you, or we meet in the next few weeks, I'll be a college graduate by the time we meet. I'm hoping that you'll have some 'higher education' under your belt as well, but it's not a pre-req. If and when I get out of the military, I'm going to continue my education, and get at least a masters degree... right now I'm still leaning toward 'marriage and family therapy' for my specialty, but that's always subject to change.
Things I don't like: a lot of T.V., unless of course it's football on Sunday. Cold weather. Hypochondriacs. People that bitch about stuff but don't do anything to change it (yes, I'm guilty of that too, so feel free to call me on it). Narrow-minded people. Cat and Dog hair all over the house.
As mentioned above, I like to stay in shape. I'm not built like Arnold or anything, but I do work out a lot, and being physically fit and looking good are important to me. People may say I'm shallow, but I really can't see spending my life with someone that doesn't share my values on physical fitness. I realize of course that I'm counting out 70% of the eligible women here in North America, but that's a chance I'm willing to take.
What I imagine for the future is to one day live in a quiet cozy cabin in the country. Preferably one with a wrap around porch, and surrounded by trees. There will of course be a barn in the back, with about half a dozen stalls for our horses. Whenever there's time, we'll load up the horses and go camping & riding for the weekend. Sound good? As for during the week, I imagine that we'll spend the morning sitting at the table together, reading the paper and enjoying a cup a' joe... Will everyday be perfect? of course not. But will it be great? Yes.
By my nature I'm a pretty shy person. Please don't try n' drag me to lots of social functions and expect me to 'mingle'. I'm much more comfortable in small groups, or when it's just you and me. Socializing for me means hanging out at the bar, going to the bowling alley on Saturday night, or going on a group trail ride.
Sex. That little 3 letter word that we all get so worked up about. I'm no different than most men, I like it. With any luck, you're the kind of girl that likes it too. How does that saying go? "A lady on the streets and a freak in the sheets." As far as I'm concerned, this all kinda goes hand in hand with staying in shape... I believe that physically fit people have hotter sex than their overweight and/or lazy counterparts, but then I guess it's all in what you consider attractive & sexy.
I prob'ly sound cynical, and you'll soon realize that I can be very sarcastic at times. Inspite of that, I am pretty easy to get along with. At least when it comes to living together anyway. Due to my long string of sorry roommates, and one failed marriage, I've mastered the art of compromise. To put it simply, if it's a pet peeve of yours to find dirty clothes on the floor and not in the hamper, then I'll make sure my clothes are never on the floor.
Wow... after re-reading this, I'm starting to wonder if you're even out there... hehehe
