Urban Poly Princess

I don't think it's too much for me to want someone attractive, spiritual, intelligent and fun. I also want someone who's is capable of supporting a family. I REALLY am not going to support anyone financially. I don't think I want too much because I know I deserve that and have made the choices that warrant that type of person for eternity. While I've been thinking I'm too picky and I need to relax what I want, I actually don't think I am the more I consider what my father in heaven has blessed me with and what my patriarchal blessing tells me about my eternal companion.

I also want someone who is a leader and actively looks for opportunities to share the gospel. While I realize I am the biggest factor in building a happy marriage, I'm not going to settle either. I've been thinking of how not everyone is going to hold the keys to the priesthood or be sanctified either AND that I am going to marry someone exceptional. I love my friend's example of an amazing marriage and relationship with her husband and I know I am the biggest influence on that BUT I'm not wrong for trying to find what I want even as I continue to get older. Watching Anthony and Krista today reminded me of how important it is to be happy with who you choose to marry. They are both grateful to have found each other. If I settle or force myself I'm not going to feel that.

As I taught my class today I looked at the guys in my gospel principles class and I was struck by how unattractive all the men were. Spiritually I appreciated David's comments. He's our new ward missionary and is actually up on his church doctrine. Ryan and Robert are awesome that way. I don't expect my husband to be that amazing in his knowledge of the scriptures and church history. It is more important for him to live the gospel by reading his Book of Mormon every day and attending the temple regularly. I want someone who tries to improve every day spiritually and seeks constant eternal progression. Maybe I'm meant to attend a mid-singles ward in Salt Lake City. Maybe they have what I want there. While I really want our ward to split asap and I'm excited to meet the new people it brings, if I don't find what I'm looking for it's alright. I am living in Logan because it made sense for me professionally.

I don't think my father in heaven is too concerned with where I live. I saw Janella at church today and I told her how lucky she is to be living in South Jordan. She said she misses it here. I told her I can't wait to move back to Salt Lake. She said heavenly father wants her there or she wouldn't be there.  I told her I'm excited to leave in September 2015 and I am!!!

I'm watching Sean Connery in From Russia with Love. He is so beautiful. He has aged gracefully too.
