A Thank You Letter To My Future Mother In Law

Bridal Gowns In Discount

Thank you so much for raising such a wonderful, God fearing man. I can't wait for my future husband to come into my life, maybe he has or maybe he hasn't. But, to the woman who is raising him into a man that I will love until the day I die: thank you. You have your work cut out for you, that is for sure. I am so much to handle myself and if you have raised a man who is capable of handling me for life, you are in for a lifetime of love and fun.

As the scripture says, "Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." (Genesis 2:24) Please don't worry that I am taking your son away because I promise he will always be your boy. You will always be a part of our life, and you can bet that we will be at your house every weekend for Sunday lunch. Although he may be leaving your home, rest assured that he is leaving so that we can build our home together.

Thank you for raising him to have Christ in his heart. I pray every day for my future husband, not that I will meet him, but that he is growing into the man that God is planning for him to be. I do not want a "church boy," I want a God-loving man. I know that with you as a mom, that is exactly what he is.

Thank you for raising him to respect women. I also pray that he will treat me right because that is what I deserve. I know that you are raising him to treat me the way that I deserve to be treated, and for that, thank you.

Thank you for raising him to be hard working. I know that he will give everything he has to provide for our family and I cannot thank you enough for that.

Thank you for raising him to be loving. More than anything, I just want to raise a family with my best friend one day. Thank you for raising him to be loving and kind. Because of you, he is going to be a wonderful father to our children.

Finally, thank you in advance for accepting me into your family. Although I will be marrying my best friend, I will also be marrying his whole family and I am just so excited for that. I pray that you love me as much as I will love you and I just hope that I will make you proud. Thank you for raising my best friend, and thank you for making him into the man that God has intended for him to be.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
