So I was thinking the other day about maybe why I wasn't married yet... and the thought came to me that maybe it's because I don't know yet what I'll need to know to be a good wife. I know that I will be a good mom (and not just because everyone tells me so); I have 7 younger siblings, siblings with kids, many cousins, cousins with kids, friends with kids, AND I work with kids every day. I feel like I know my way around kids :)
On the flip side - I don't know if I know how to be a good wife. In my mind, I am not very 'homemaker-ish'. I can't make food from scratch, I don't know how to sew, and even though I do know how to compromise, I sometimes feel I am too selfish. I also do realize that being a wife is not all about cooking and cleaning and sewing and bending to my husband's every wish; a wife is a companion, a confidant, best friend, loyal, partner, and one half of the problems or answers :)
As I'm typing this, I am changing my mind. I can learn to cook and sew, I already know how to respect, compromise, be loyal, and love. I don't think I have anything to worry about, right? As long as I have God on my side I can do anything!
*Side note: There is a boy in 6th grade who I just found out (verbally) has a crush on me! He has always been sweet to me when he sees me, and has given me flowers before (a rose on Valentine's Day, and other flowers over the last two years...), but it's never been verbally said that he has a crush on me. One of the teachers today told me he did, stating: "He never goes so out of his way to talk to any other teacher but you..." Totally made my day! My comment about it all: "If only he were 20 years older..." (that would put him at 33).
