As summer vacation posts begin popping up on my Instagram feed, I am beginning to see the ever so typical bikini, high-wasted short, and crop top photos. And before anybody goes to scolding me over this, let me get one thing straight; there is absolutely nothing wrong with wearing these items (I own them all myself); it does however all come down to how you carry yourself when wearing these things.

I see posts of girls with their bikinis on and tongues sticking out, and makeup done like they just came from the Mac counter. And I also see the comments that come along with the posts; such as “body goals”, “booty”, and the most common “daammnn”(insert flame emoji).

I’m not saying to not post pictures of you with your friends at the beach, or to not post a bikini picture (be proud of yourself). Simply just try to think about how other people are going to view your posts. And before any of you people that try to find some way to scold me for my previous statement jump on me, let me clarify my point. I know that we are not supposed to care what others think of us, but in my opinion in some ways we do need to care. I know that I don’t want someone to think lower of me because of a stupid post I made without even thinking about it. So many people see your posts such as family members, church members, future employers, etc; and you don’t want them to see you acting like a wild party girl, right?

But back to the topic of this blog, so many girls do not see anything wrong in the things that they post. Girls post pictures with barely any clothing on and captions to a freaking Somo song (I love me some Somo, but I can assure you that i’m not putting it on Instagram for everyone to see). When I see all of these posts all I can think to myself is what will I think about this post 10 years from now? What will my future husband and kids think if they ever saw this?

In 10 years I hope to be a wife and a mother. As I recently posted on my Twitter; “If in 10 years i’m not one of those baseball moms in their lawn chairs eating sunflower seeds and  hollering at their babies, imma be upset.” And this is probably one of the most honest things I have ever heard. I have a time frame made up in my head as to where I would like to be by a certain age. And to go on without having to explain my list to you all, lets just say that by the time I am 30 I hope to have accomplished quite a few things (husband and kids included).

I truly can’t wait for the day that I get to become a wife. I have had so many people tell me to travel and experience life and to just stay single! I can assure that I love to travel and I live life to the fullest, but I see no reason why I couldn’t do all of the things that I do now, when I do have a significant other.

I want to cook my husband dinner every night. I want to listen to him tell me about his day, whether it be good or bad. I want to travel with him. I want to pick out baby names with him (even though I already have a list). I want to be close with his family. I want to learn everything about him.

I have been told several times that I am “wife material”. Some see this as a good thing, and others do not. I however am perfectly happy with being “wife material”. The only downfall of being “wife material”, is that most guys my age aren’t really looking for a girl that they will eventually marry. They want a girl that is going to go out and party and someone that they know they will get something from. I am not that girl.

It becomes upsetting at times when I do see the guy I like going after a girl who is clearly “one night stand” material. I have questioned myself before if I should act more like those girls, but then I think to myself “LeAnn do you really want to be “that girl?” I do not.

It does get to you sometimes , but at the end of the day I love knowing that I am “wife material”. It makes me feel good to know that some guys do see me as the type of girl they one day would like to marry. I may not have guys lined up at my door any time soon. But one day I am going to find a guy that realizes I am the woman who will be the perfect wife for him and he will appreciate the fact that I remained “wife material” in a one- night stand world.
