To My Future Husband

Here's a few things you need to know about what I want from our relationship.

Dear Future Husband,

First off, you need to know that, for a while, I really didn't think you existed. Honestly, I had my entire life planned out as if you were never there. I also had it planned out just in case someone like you came along. I'm the girl that plans everything out. I'm really glad you finally decided to show up. Congrats on meeting the high standards I have.

Second, if I picked you, it's forever. I'm a child of divorce. To be honest, that's probably why this took so long. I'm picky and have high standards. If you are here, you must be one in a million. Everyone always says that they want what their parents had: I do not. I don't want to go through what they went through. Especially, if kids are involved. It affects kids more than you will ever know.

Ask my parents for their blessing; yes, that means all four of them. My dad may have a shotgun ready to kill you when you ask, but he's just a gentle giant. I'm his little girl, I mean a lot. To be honest, if you don't ask them, they will probably resent you. My parents are a huge part of my life. Also, make sure they know when you're going to do it. I want real, in the moment photos- not some fake posed photos.

I promise to watch Thursday night, Monday night, and Sunday football. I grew up with it, so even if you don't watch it, I will anyways. I'm a Steelers fans, so no Browns fans allowed. But, please don't make me watch soccer. I will watch anything but soccer. If I watch sports with you, you have to watch all the sappy Nicholas Sparks movies with me.

Kids will happen: natural or adopted. They will do extracurricular activities, and we will support them in whatever they choose. I've wanted kids since I was about six years old. I want a family. Family has always been so important to me growing up; I can't imagine not having one. To be honest, I'm so obsessed with babies I already have names picked out. Obviously, those can change. Like I said, I'm a planner.

Don't make me change. I am who I am. I believe what I believe. I like what I like. Yes, make me go on spontaneous adventures. Get me out of my comfort zone. Make me try new things, but don't push me over the edge. That's what that journey is all about.

I'm really glad you decided to show up. I'm sure it wasn't love at first sight. I'm sure the first date was awkward. But, I know everything worked out in the end. I'm excited to start life's adventure with someone like you. I can't wait to see what the future holds.

As I sit here writing this, I can't help but smile. I really hope you are out there. In fact, I know you are. It just might take a while.

Love,

Your Future Wife

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one. As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
