Wanted: the right guy

I've been thinking a lot lately about what I want in a guy - like every girl, I have an ideal guy. I'm a little negotiable about the details, but this is a general idea about what I want.

(so if you're a guy and you're Facebook stalking me to see what I like...here you go!)

Must:
- Be taller than me (sorry guys...there are plenty of great guys who are my height, but it just doesn't work for me)
- Be Christian
- Have a good sense of humor (if you can't appreciate Monty Python, you're out of the running)
- Be easy-going
- Have good communications skills (I know, this is a lot to ask for in a guy, and I'm not asking for him to share all his feelings, but if something's bothering him, I want him to be able to tell me)
- Be devoted to being a good husband and father
- Be my best friend (or one of them...there are some things guys just can't get)
- Be able to handle the fact that I will be out risking my neck working with horses, and you can no sooner take it out of me than you can cut off my head
- Like animals (lots and lots of animals)
- Be able to deal with the fact that I have as many moods as I do shirts (and I have a LOT of shirts) and they can switch extremely rapidly (depending on the time of month). I may not wake up the same person three days in a row.
- Be fairly intellectual and able to discuss interesting things.
- Love kids (I'm planning on having at least five)
- Buy me flowers occasionally, for no reason at all.

Preferences:
- Enjoy games (all sorts)
- Brown hair
- Older than me (my parents and one set of my grandparents were the other way around, but I don't think I want it)
- Speak a foreign language (German preferably, but anything else works as well)
- Like science-fiction TV shows (however, liking "Star Trek: Enterprise" throws you out of the running, because that's just WRONG on SO many levels)
- Enjoy Europe
- Willing to cook occasionally
- Fairly optimistic

There's probably a few others I've forgotten - but for the hoards of guys beating down my door (yeah right) this is a good start.
