Dear future children,

Dear future children,

I get excited every time I picture you. I can’t wait until the day you decide to come into my life. You are a blessing and loved in every way. There are promises I will make to you right now.

  1. I promise to be your mom not you friend: I have always heard the saying, you can have thousands of friends, but you will have only one mom. I will tell you when you’re making a bad decision. I will
  2. I promise to support you: Whatever you decide to do in your life I will support you. Whether it be you becoming a doctor or garbage truck operator. I will support your decisions.
  3. I promise to be there for you: When you graduate I will be there, when you are sick I will be there, the first time you fall on your bike, I will be there. You will be able to call me at any time of the night for advice or love.
  4. I promise to love you unconditionally: One day when I find out you’re on your way I will love you already. Not knowing your gender, what you will look like, or your personality I will love you no matter what.

Until I find the right man who will be my husband and you’re daddy, I will dream about you and picturing my life with you. I hope to be the best mom I can be for you. I love you forever my baby.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
