Liberated in the 21 Century

How many of us dream of the day we can have that perfect house, perfect wife, two kids, and a bank account big enough to keep up with the Joneses?

Yeah?



Me too.


I wanted the fine husband who worked in his own personal office and enjoyed taking me to Martha's Vineyard on vacation. We would date for a year, marry the next on the white beaches of Hawaii, have two adorable children, and eventually we would retire and move to a plot of land on the coast of Mississippi. A beautiful dream, but it was just that. A dream. I'm too wild to deal with the everyday sameness of traditional married life. I'll definitely be cooking him a home cooked meal every night. But I doubt I'll be working the first 2 years of my child's life. I doubt my husband will work a regular 9-5. I doubt I'll even have the conventional marriage of waiting at home for my husband at his beak and call.

I want a guy who understands that I'm my own woman. Sometimes I want to be independent, but sometimes I want to depend on my husband. (As he will want to do to me sometimes I suppose.) I want to make my own money, but I want to know that my child will be financially stable if I wish to become a homemaker. I want all the big things including a eco-friendly condo, a couple of horses, a brand spanking new BMW, and everything in the world. But I also want the little things. I want to kiss him every morning when he wakes up, makes s'mores by the fireplace, walk with our children to the bus stop, and smile when he makes it home safe.

I've never consider myself a simple woman, and hope my husband keeps things exciting. I may not have the best pronunciation skills, tell terrible jokes, and like sushi/tacos more than somebody of my ethnicity should (lol). I may demand my way more than my husband likes, be a little too obsessed with shoes to match our budgets, and talk his ear off when we're not together....


But I'm sure that we will work out anyways.


Who needs normal when you have the forever eclectic Kelada?!
