Dear Future Boyfriend,
I am having a little bit of a rough time lately. And finding you is proving to be very difficult. Don’t get me wrong, I never thought it would be easy but I also never thought it would be this draining.
Lately, I have been watching a lot of football. Each time I watch a match I am struck by the similarity between the players persistence to score a goal and my own quest to find you. In fact, several weeks ago I actually began to cry as I watched Manchester United win the Premier League. That type of happiness I saw spread across the faces of the players? That type of happiness, I think, can only ever be felt after you have trained and fought and faltered and endured and lost and then fought some more.
I want that.
Hard earned happiness.
As I was watching them lift the trophy and kiss their medals, I decided that if you don’t show up relatively soon? If you don’t find me or let me find you in the next year or so?
I am so going to have Queen’s We Are The Champions as the theme song to our future wedding. If you don’t show up soon? I might also be tempted to do a victory lap around the church after we have exchanged our vows with a pair of white, satin finished boxing gloves on my pumping the air hands.
I am pretty sure your mother will hate that, so you know, hurry up!
Grumpily yours,
Hope

I have been watching a lot of soccer recently too. We watched the Premier League final and now we are bogged down with the European Cup. Germany plays today! Our TiVo is set to record it in just half an hour.

HAHAHAHAHA Oh Hope, this post made me laugh. Especially about the victory lap with the boxing gloves. That is seriously going to be happening if i dont find a boy soon too. Good luck to the both of us…

Haha… and come out in a boxing robe with a hood over your head instead of a veil.

Funny that, my mom would probably join you in laps.
That’s why she’s cool.
Then she’d try to get your drunk so she’d get grandchildren faster.
You know, she’s cool like that.

Can I just say that the idea of getting married in boxing gloves made me smile? You say the most off-the-wall things, and you say them perfectly.
