Dustin in real life

So the other night my husband disappeared into the land of Halo and left me alone to wander the house or find a good book. Neither sounded like anything I wanted to do so I decided I was going out. Spontaneously at 7:25 I told Dustin I was going to a movie and I left. I drove to our nearest movie theater to see what might be starting around 7:30. As you probably guessed "DAN IN REAL LIFE" was starting so I decided to go see it. Well, it hadn't gotten the best reviews but I was basically desperate for anything to entertain me at that point. And I am happy to report that I liked.

I am a huge Steve Carell fan thanks to the office and I thoroughly enjoyed watching him in this movie. But I have to say that the movie hit a little too close to home for me. He plays the widower of three girls. They are about the age differences of my three girls as well. There is one that is 16 and one about 13 and one that is 9. The girls even have similar personalities to what I imagine my daughters might be like when they are these ages. The real clincher was that the littlest ones name was Lilly.

Anyway of course I cried when the girls were all getting on the bus to go to school and when the littlest one made a collage of her mother etc. It just reminded me of my own daughters. It made me think about what it might be like if I were to die......what would their life be like with just their daddy. And it made me feel like if I were to die I would really pray that he get remarried! Not that I think Dustin would do a bad job or anything because I think that Dustin is an amazing father. But who is going to take them to get their first bra, talk to them about their first kiss, or help them out when their babies are born. All that stuff that falls on the mom to take care of. All those things that honestly I look forward too. This really wasn't what the movie was about but it just got me thinking. So even though I would really want Dustin to get remarried there are still some guidelines that I don't think would be asking too much:

1. He can't get remarried within two years after my death.

2. I would prefer him to remarry a redhead BUT preferrably someone not prettier than me.....I am just being honest.

3. I should always be referred to as his first wife and love of his life.

4. Our wedding picture should remain up in the house.....forever.

5. Her name should also be Jessica (even if she has to change it) but she can have whatever middle name she wants.

6. She must be a nurse, teacher, child pyschologist, or a homemaker, merely for the skills she can contribute towards my children.

I am compiling a list of people that are acceptable for my husband to pick from. If you would like to be considered for this list feel free to comment and tell me why.

I don't think I am asking to much.....afterall I am his first wife and love of his life right?
