a love list.

yesterday i found out that my friends' sweet little sister is going to be getting married this summer;
and as she flipped through wedding magazines this morning, looking at different rings,
a smile spread across my face;
and i became really, really, really happy for her, for him,
and for me and mr. someone else,
someday too.

in honor of this exciting news, (because i think the two of them are absolutely adorable together!)
i have some advice i'd like to pass along from miss diete's third grade class.

advice for a happy marriage.

.you need to kiss every once in a while.

.i think you should wear something beautiful.
.get bunnies.

.take turns doing the chores.
.take breaks from each other once in a while.

.mostly say yes (like if you're going to have hot dogs for dinner and you really don't like hot dogs, it's okay to say no.)
.sleep together.

.when your husband is grumpy, smile at him.

.to show you love each other, take the smallest cookie.
& finally...
.do not marry another person.

i think this list is absolutely, one hundred and ten percent, undeniably fantastic.
(and i think that marriage will be the same way, someday too)
