Almost Her Defined

There is this picture I have of the ideal woman floating around in my head. She’s perfection and she knows it.

“HER” defined: Funny, smart, brave, knowledgeable, beautiful, energetic, laid-back, positive, healthy, crafty, an amazing friend/daughter/girlfriend/wife/aunt/mother/grandmother, happy, full of faith, stress-free, thoughtful, honest, playful, spontaneous, and a bomb diggity cook.♥ (This list is never-ending.)
