yesterday was halloween at work, and everyone brought in their kids dressed up in costumes. it quite possibly was the cutest thing that i have ever seen. granted all these kids were the kids too young to be in school yet, so there were lots of babies and toddlers running around dressed up as turtles, bears, princesses, dora the explorers, and there even was a michigan wolverine (what good parents they are, raising their kids up right even in the state of ohio). anyway, i handed out candy, and as each one came up to me, so happy and adorable and pudgy and smiling, i realized more and more how much i can't wait to have kids...in five to ten years. maybe i'll just pick up babysitting as a side job to cure my itch in the meantime. until then i'll just be waiting...
"wait for the boy who pursues you, the one who will make an ordinary moment seem magical, the kind of boy who brings out the best in you and makes you want to be a better person. wait for the boy who will be your best friend, the person who will drop everything to be with you at any time of the day no matter the circumstances. wait for the boy who makes you smile like no other, and when he smiles you know he needs you. most of all, wait for the boy who will put you at the center of his universe, because obviously, he'd be at the center of yours. wait for the boy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heart beat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep. wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you are just as pretty without makeup, and the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky he is to have you, the one who turns to his friends and says...that's her."
