Magic Mike and my version of sexy

There is a lot of hype out about the movie Magic Mike. I've not seen it and have no plans to see it. It's been a big box office hit and very popular among women my age, married women I might add. I am not writing this post to judge those who have gone to see it or who are planning to. That's not my point, I simply want to share that my view of a sexy man doesn't come in the form of Matthew Mcconaughey acting as a male stripper. Yes he might be "cute" but put him in the role of stripper and sexy is no longer a word that comes to mind. So what is sexy? This is what is sexy- my magnificant Mike who I call Michael, the man I've been married to for 17 years this month!

Sexy is:

A man who serves and leads by example so his kids may grow up and want to give back to the community.

A man who allows his children to express themselves freely by the way they dress- while keeping in mind that modesty is a virtue. Who says you can't wear a diamondbacks hat with your pretty dress on a Sunday morning even when it's not baseball season?

 A man who is not ashamed of his faith and will do the Tebow at the zoo and not care what other people might think, and rope your kids into doint it with you as well.

 A man who gets his daughter an icee just because she has a smile that lights up a room.

 A man who takes time to stand and talk with his son who can ask a million questions in a few seconds while remaining patient and not just giving a short answer just so he can move on with his day.

A man who is always willing to give a helping hand to someone in need.

 Sexy is:
Well, just look at him (actually don't do look at him that way, that's my job). Bald is sexy in my book!

 A man allowing his kids to walk barefoot through a beach town cause who needs shoes anyways when your walking to the beach.

 a man who doesn't speak a negative word about the way you look even when you look fat, he tells you how beautiful you are and you know he means it when he says it.

 a man who remains patient during those pouty moments.

 A man who watches the sunset with you and steals a kiss, or two, or three.

 a man who isn't afraid to get his hands dirty and asks his son to help even when it might be easier to just do it himself.

 A man who doesn't mind his kids climbing on him constantly even when he falls off a swing and his pants fall off.

 A hard working man who tends to the needs of your house.

 sexy is, well??? a man who isn't afraid to look ridiculous around his own family?

 A man who prays blessings over his children every night for 40 nights during lent.

 A man who wants to spend quality time with his children.

 A man who gets down on his child's level to have a conversation with her.

 a man who puts his child in a headlock because they needed a little correction. :)

 A man who picks his child up after she has fallen.

 A man who keeps your children safe through the storms of this life.

 A man who knows how to have fun and expose his children to new adventures.

Sexy is my husband who makes me feel like I am the most beautiful, loved woman in this whole wide world!

And that folks is why I don't need Magic Mike to spice up my life. All I have to do is scroll through the pictures of the last few months or steal a glance over the dinner table, or just hear my husbands voice when he calls from work just to say hi. Sexy is: My husband!
