15-year-old Jono

The other night my mother-in-law, LeAnn, knocks on my bedroom door and comes in to give me a letter. On the envelope is says "For Ady...I think Jono found his 'Dream Girl' <3". So at this point I'm thinking...whaaa? So I opened the letter and this is what I read:

Journal #5
Jono Castleton
P.6
Dream Girl

It is very hard to describe my ideal girlfriend because I don't know exactly what I want. What I know I want in a girl physically is blonde hair, thin (but not too skinny), attractive and she has to be a little shorter than me. Quality wise I'd want a girl who is nice, loyal, cares for others more than herself, sweet, understanding, easy to entertain, and funny. She needs to be nice because I really hate rude people even though I'm rude sometimes. She needs to be loyal because if she isn't then she doesn't really like me. She needs to like me as much as I like her. She has to care for others and not be selfish because I love charity. Also, we need somewhere to spend our millions. She needs to be sweet because if she wasn't I wouldn't be attracted to her once I got to know her. She needs to be understanding so when I mess up, which I do often, she will forgive me. She needs to be easy to entertain because I would feel uncomfortable when I can't amuse her. She has to be funny because I also need to be entertained. I wouldn't make my ideal girlfriend perfect because then she'll be ten times better than me.

Isn't the fifteen-year-old Jono so cute??? He wrote this in his freshman English class at Trabuco, and I had the same teacher but only 6 years later! haha. We want to go back to visit her and tell her we got married and show her this letter. I think I may have also wrote a letter like this in her class...but I will have to do some rummaging to find it. If only this fifteen-year-old Jono knew that his future wife was currently 9 years old and in the 3th grade... :)

That is so cute, oh Jono, you're so sweet.

I think when he wrote he had a 3rd grader in mind. :)
