A completely unbiased list of things that make Josh quite the catch

So I made a sandwich last night. Yeah, no biggie. I do it most nights before a work day but it’s funny how that sandwich has lead me to a blog post. You see I had my friends Josh and Dane, who I met at camp years ago, over at the place as they are from central coastal California and they needed a place to stay for the night as they were to catch a flight out of LAX today. Anyway, I was making a nice turkey sandwich and Dana said something along the lines of, “You should marry a teacher. They’ll appreciate your sandwich making abilities” This then prompted a conversation on all the other aspects that not only make me a good roommate now but will make for a good husband down the road. I then posted this quote as a part of my status update on Facebook and got a few comments back and one (from Anastasia) of them suggested I maybe put all these things down and have it ready, like some kind of resume, for future use. Hey and why not? I suppose it wouldn’t hurt so here goes…


A completely unbiased list of things that make Josh quite the catch

Domestic division

I take out the trash
I do my own laundry
I do the dishes
I can cook if given a recipe
I make a mean sandwich
I leave the toilet seat down

General “Life” division

I have a stable career and high level of responsibility
I’ve been at the same job for almost 4 years
I actually like what I do, which only adds to the aforementioned
I actually budget my money and allocate appropriately
I keep a nice balanced life and always have something going on without being overwhelmed.
I seek community and connection
I’m a cat owner. Doesn’t that count for something (no snarky comments)?

Spiritual division

I get into scripture every day
I’m an active member of two different church bodies
I have a healthy prayer life and keep a dialog with God going often
I use my gifts towards meeting His call from music to service to everything in-between
I ultimately will follow wherever God leads, regardless of what that looks like, and strongly believe we are to live a life open to His calling.


Personality division

I’m ridiculously committed and loyal to those who come into my life
I hear I’m funny
This guy knows a good song or 6,000
I have a heart the size of Texas which I’ve seen come out directly in the past month
I have a wide array of interests which means I have a lot of information going on in my noggin which means I’m not a total bore.
I’m quirky…in a good way.
Even though I have a schedule and a certain routine to my life, I can be flexible and will fully “roll with the punches” if anything out of left field comes my way.
I care about the stuff that matters. I want to make the world a better place than how I found it and I want to be plugged into finding solutions and how I can be a part of the answers and not just the questions.

Anyway, I don’t want to get toooooo self absorbed but that’s a good list, no? Of course I then ask myself, “What‘s MY problem?” or “What is the problem of every woman I’ve wanted to be with?” So I’m not sure if it’s a positive of a negative that I realize this about myself. Now I’m not a perfect guy either and I have my faults like everyone (no list to follow. HA!) but at the end of the day, you’re not going to find a more solid and grounded guy who is plugged in, active and earnestly trying to follow God wherever, safe in the knowledge that he won’t be ultimately let down. Now I just need to figure out what the deal is because I’ll be really right one day for someone and I’m a little sick of feeling like I’m ready but with no buyers…so buy me…please. I’m not scary. I don’t bite. I might be a bit shy but it’s cool…I’ll open up soon enough. You won’t be disappointed.
