Dear Future Husband,

Obviously you've done something right to be my husband, I'm not sure exactly what you did but it clearly swept me off my feet. Now, I'd like to commend you for putting up with me. I know at times I'm not the easiest to handle, but somehow you have. Through dating, to engagement, and now to husband and wife, I'm sure you've been here for me all along. I know I can be very high maintenance, but I praise you for dealing with it. I'm positive I value everything you do because why wouldn't I value the man I marry?

My love for you is like no other and I'm hoping and praying your love for me is the same. Although I'm sure I don't always let you know how much I actually appreciate and I don't always act like I do, I want to let you know that I will appreciate you more than you could ever imagine possible. At this point in time I may not know exactly what you do for me, but I do that I would never marry a man I didn't appreciate. As my husband I'm more than certain that I see you as perfect, flaws and all. You may not be anyone else's definition of perfect but I know for a fact you will definitely be mine. Since we are married, I realize that you have put up with me through all my different moods. Ranging from (but certainly not limited to) loving everything and everyone to wanting to destroy anything that crosses my path. For that I applaud you because I can't even deal with my various moods sometimes.

I admire the courage and strength I'm positive you possess. As much as I'm sure it was an honor for you to have me become your wife, I know that it was even more of an honor for you to become my husband. You obviously impressed my father and brothers, who are hard to impress at times. I'm sure you've watched me fail at cooking and baking multiple times as I try to get the hang of it, but I also have a strong feeling in my gut that you ate every last bite of whatever awful or burnt thing I made.

As you will learn or most likely already know, I'm a very sarcastic and strong willed person. Not many people like to deal with my sarcastic comments or insisting mannerisms, but you clearly either love them or were just able to accept them. Although I'd like to think I'm not going to be one of those crazy wife's that freaks out when something in the fridge is placed on the "wrong" shelf, I feel like it's inevitably going to happen so congratulations for being able to tolerate my crazy girl mode.

Even though I'm not really sure who you are at this point in time, I know that somehow you've made me a better version of myself. You may not think so, but I know you have. Every person I've encountered in my life has made some sort of influence on me. Seeing that you are my husband, I'm certain that you have had the greatest influence on who I am today and how I carry myself.

It may not seem like a lot but everything you do I could praise, that's just part of being a wife. Even the arguments where I know I'm right, because as your wife I always will be, I would commend you for putting up a strong fight. As much as I'll try to find a fault in you, I'll never be able to because I'll be too busy focusing on all of the good that you truly are. So thank you future husband, whoever you may be for dealing with the crazy person I am. I am forever grateful for you.

Love always,

Your future wife

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
