To My Future Type,

Lately I’ve been thinking about what type of guy you’ll be. Looking back at my list of exes there isn’t really much that they have in common, other than being the wrong guy as my mom would point out. But other than that, it’s pretty spread across the board. Nerdy guys, alpha athletic types, quiet anti-socials and preps. Tall, short, skinny and not. There’s even a wizard in there (yeah….high school). Point is, when I think about you, I can’t help but wonder what type you’ll turn out to be. Will you be the type that’s man enough to wear a bow tie on any old day? Or the type that will embrace and support my love of Jason Mraz’s music? Will you be the type that will dedicate your Sundays to church and football with me? Or will you the type who will dance with me in public places just for fun? Perhaps you’ll be the guy whose hands will always be a little dirty from working with them every day? Or the type who can make any group of people laugh with your wit and charm?

Maybe you’ll be all of those things in one wonderful package. Are my hopes too high for wanting that? Regardless, I look forward to finding out someday. Until then, take the time to figure it out and be confident about it. It’ll come in handy by the time we meet.

Love always,
Your future little bit of everything

Dear Someday Fan,

Let me start out by saying, I absolutely love the Miami Dolphins. They have been my team since birth and I will never leave them. Thats just the way is. Now, this doesn’t mean that i won’t support you in your loving of your team. I may even wear their colors just for you! But please  realize that I will not abandon my team for yours. I’m sorry if that hurts your feelings.

Oh, and one other thing, if you happen to be a Bills fan, we may not be able to be friends during football season. I only say this because I love you.  🙂

I can’t wait to spend our Sundays together!

Ever yours,
Sarah

To: My Forever Love

Divorce is not an option. We can not go into our life together with the thinking that “well if it doesn’t work out there’s always divorce”. That just won’t do. With me it’s forever. Now I’m not always the easiest to deal with and I’m a little bit crazy at times. So you should think long and hard before you decide that you want to be stuck with my weirdness. And if I say yes, you’ll know that you’re gonna be it for me…till the end. So now you know.

Love,
Your Forever Love

To: My Future Pants Wearer

Just to warn you, I’ve been known to intimidate guys. I really have no idea why. Maybe it’s because I’m not afraid to speak up, maybe it’s the fact that I can choke most guys out, who knows. Regardless though, I’m gonna need you to put your man pants on when it comes to me. If you’re gonna be my man I need you to be just that, a MAN. Put me in my place when it needs to be done, don’t be afraid of me, take charge of certain situations, and don’t let me run the show all the time. I don’t think this is too much to ask.

Ever Yours,
Sarah
p.s. if you’ve already known me to this point, this letter isn’t news to you. 🙂

To: My Someday Family Man

I guess I should take some time to tell you that it’s absolutely imperative that you get along with my family. I’m referring to my immediately family mostly. I need you to love them as if they were your own.

Why you ask? Because they’re what I’ve got. Because they are me. Because you love me.

Especially my sister. You must get along with her the best. Because if you don’t she’ll never really know what it’s like to have a brother. And I can’t stand the thought of you both disliking each other during holidays and family get-togethers.

So you see, I’m a package deal. But not to worry, it’s a great bundle, full of love and caring.

Ever Yours,
Sarah

To: My Medicine Man

I’m scarred.
My scars make me who I am. I wear some with pride and others with pain. 
I hope you can handle them because I will need you to. 
I will need you to come along and make me forget that I have them and more importantly, who inflicted them. 
It’s a pretty high prescription to fill but I have faith that you’ll be able to handle it.
Just be sure that you don’t scar me too much as well. I know that scratches and bruises will happen but I don’t know how many scars I will be able to take from you…stubborn as I am.
So be ready. Be ready with everything you’ve got.
Because Lord knows how many more scars I will acquire between now and the time we meet. (Hopefully few)
Love eternally,
Your Best Patient

To: The father of my future unborn child

I’ve seen this commercial lately, for cable or something, where this pregnant woman is going from room to room trying to sit down and get comfortable. Meanwhile her husband simply goes wherever she does and asks her if she’s comfortable. I like this very much. I know that whenever you do knock me up I won’t be totally immobile or dependent on you, I’m too stubborn. But at the same time I want you to be there for me 150% of the way, wanting to do anything you can to help me. Being pregnant isn’t my job alone. If you’re gonna go impregnating me then you better be prepared to support me for the next 9 months and beyond. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.

Love Forever and Always,
The mother of your future unborn child

To: My Forever Valentine

Just to let you know, there isn’t too much pressure on the old Valentine’s Day. I would much rather feel your love everyday than one day a year. Sure getting me something sweet and thoughtful is nice, but I will never scorn you for just saying “I Love You” and meaning it. That’s the best gift you could ever get me. And FYI, I will most likely get you something because, well, I will just like getting you things!   Happy Valentine’s Day

Your Forever Valentine,
Sarah

To: My Future Baby Daddy

Sometimes I think about our children…How many will we have? How many years will we wait between each one? Will God curse me with ALL GIRLS?! Are there any family names that we will want to continue on through them? Will they be athletic like their parents?(yes, you will be athletic) I hope that we can agree on names for them. How do you feel about Lincoln, or Everett? Something about those names appeals to me. I want you to be a huge part of our children’s lives. I want them to say that their dad can fix anything. I never want them to wonder why daddy is never home or only watches TV all day. They should never doubt your love. I hope you have little secrets that don’t get told to mommy. Don’t be afraid to be the bad guy now and then too. Mommy doesn’t want to be the bad cop all the time. I never want to feel like a single mother with a husband on the side. In return, I promise that you can set your salsa bowl on my pregnant belly (I know I’ll certainly be doing it!).
I love our family already.

Ever yours,
Your Future Baby Momma
