An Open Letter To The Man I Will Marry

Dear Future Husband,

Hey there! I am not sure if we have met yet, but I want you to know how amazing you are. I want you to know just a few things before we fully commit to one another. I know some people are probably thinking, why is this young girl thinking about getting married and starting a family already?" Well, the truth is, I have been thinking about this my whole life. As of now, I have multiple pins on Pinterest about my future ring and our future wedding, but I want you to know I do not care all about that. I care about us truly loving each other and wanting to be with one another for the rest of our lives.

While the divorce rate in this country is constantly growing, I want to make sure we are not a part of that growth. I want to fight for our marriage, and I want to actually be happy that we are together. I know every couple goes through their rough patches, but we will work through it if that time ever comes. I want us to know that no matter what happens in life, we will be there for one another as husband and wife. I want you to take me out on cheesy dates, and I want to surprise you with a home-cooked meal on the table every chance I get. I want us to love one another deeply and show people that a marriage can actually last when you want it to.

When the time comes for us to have children of our own, I know we will strive to be the best parents we can possibly be. I cannot wait to see you holding our babies and me sneaking cute little pictures of y'all. I want to show our children what love truly is. I want to show them that they must work for what they want in life, and that it is not just handed to you like most people think. I want to make sure that they are rightfully disciplined if they do wrong and show them that they just can't get away with everything. Children in this generation seem to not know what it means to be told what is wrong to do and what is right. I want to make sure that our children know that they must respect their elders because I do not want to have disrespectful children. I know that we can raise our children right and even through the tough times, we will have each others backs.

All in all, I want you to know that I am passionate about making my marriage work and having children that are just as amazing as you live their life. I want our kids to come to us and ask us questions about our life and our story. I cannot wait to grow old with you. As I am living my life and you are living yours, I want you to know that when the time comes and we meet, my whole heart will be in our relationship. I cannot wait to see where this life takes me and when I will finally meet you.

Sincerely, Your Future Wife

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
