... I want you to know*

... I want you to know*

Current mood:contemplative

Tonight I'm feeling very mushy open and accepting...

I want you to know...

I may not be the most ladylike, the most girly, the most rich, the most thin, the most mushy, the most touchy, the most open about my feelings, the most sympathetic, the most emotional, the most flexible, the most bubbly, the most fancy, the most social, the most gentle, the most clean or the most tender...

... but I am genuine. I am true to my beliefs, I am smart and wise far beyond my years... I know what I want from the men in my life and from the girls lucky enough to be called my friends... I am giving to a fault and loyal to the death... I am the girl that will make your family my family and care for them as if they were my own...I am the girl that will hold your hand, curl up and watch movies with you but also play video games and watch monday night football... probably rooting for your least favorite team and taunting you when we win :)... I am the girl that will make sure your house is clean after a hard day's work... I am the girl that will kiss you like I mean it... I am the girl that will say what I mean and mean what I say... especially when I tell you I love you. I am the girl that will baby you when you are sick, make you laugh when you are happy, stick with you in the trenches, and make you feel important. I will call you on your bullshit as I would expect you to call me on mine.... I will make you your favorite dinner, play catch with you in the park, make you take a bath with me just so we can relax and talk about the day... I am the girl that will send you flowers AND buy you football jerseys... kiss your forehead, and steal your baseball hat... just because its yours ;) I respect  you for the man that you are and the man that you wish to become... I will support you in your passions and back your decisions up one hundred percent... we are a team in it to win it together... I will never allow us to go to bed angry... I will make sure that the things that are important to you are important to me if for no other reason than they mean something special to you...I will always tell you when something is wrong.... and I will always make it a point everyday to somehow make your life better and build your confidence... I am the girl that will only have eyes for you... I am the girl that will throw your comforter in the dryer on a cold night just to make sure you are warm... I will never shame you... never hold grudes or old events over your head... never create a situation where saying "I'm sorry" is too painful of an option...  (try) ;) not take it too personally if you are too busy to call...and never try to change the you that you are... and I am DEFINITELY the girl that will call you and say "HEY BABY GET NAKED I WILL BE THERE IN FIVE MINUTES!!" ;)

...but you should also know that my nephew is the love of my life... my best friends are here to stay and that I will never change my love for the Red Wings :) .... I don't drink a whole lot but I have an iron gut (however if I do happen to over do it ... please hold my hair back... its really long and I might need some help :) ) I love crotch rockets, pickles and cheese (yes together!), and never get sick of top ramen. I have a hard time admitting when I am wrong so please be patient with me as I am aware that I have this problem and I'm working on it.. please make it okay for me to come crying back to you after a fight telling you that I am wrong.. don't make me suffer for it just take me in open arms and I will do the same for you. I have a huge heart for animals and I will admit I can't resist bringing them home... mountain dew makes me a nut job but so does my Meredith so beware when the two are in combination. You have to impress my best friend John.. and you have to be nice to him (which isn't hard cuz he's awesome) because I will never leave him. You have to put up with my D's hazing (which you will get no doubt) and come to my KJ's games (in what ever sport he is playing at the time). You have to love me for me... the outgoing, giving, loving, burping, hockey playing, football loving, crotch rocket drooling, mushroom hating, italian, dance teaching, blonde wonder that I am...

...up for the challenge?...

...just thought you should know... must be the puppy chow...
