An Open Letter To My Future Husband
http://giordanosweddings.com/

Loving someone is never easy. It's complicated and stressful at times, but it's the laughs and memories that will make it all worth it. Hopefully my future husband will think it's all worth it as well.

I want you to know:

To make things easy, I want you to know I'm a hard person to love. I complain I'm always tired and stressed, and I always have to have the last word. Most importantly, I've never felt such strong love from another human before. So please accept the fact that I am still learning how to love and how to be loved. I'm still learning relationships are built off of trust, caring and enjoying the company of another.

I'm selfish, but aren't we all? Sometimes I'll want everything to be about me. There are many things that I'm going to want or need. Please bare with me on that one. When I get like that please promise you'll still love me despite being whiny for not having things go my way. I'll also promise you every now and again it will be about you, your wants and your needs! I will support you in everything you try to do as long as you support me, as well.

I've been tossed aside before. So there may be days when I feel like I am not worth your time. Those are the days where I'll lie in bed for a few extra minutes thinking to myself, "why does he stay"? Those are the days where you'll have to get up and start your day without me. Those will be the days where I'll cry, but pretend like it's going to be OK, and you are just going to have to accept that.

I want you to know that when I love, I love with every ounce of love my heart has to offer. I pour a lot of emotion into those I love which makes it worse if you do not love me back the same way. I'll love you the same way I'd like to be loved. I'll care for you how you would care for me. Most importantly, I'll love you until you don't want to be loved anymore by me. No matter what, it is my choice to love you, and you'll have it all.

In sickness and health:

I promise to love you through the good and bad times. One thing I know for sure is I'll never allow myself to let you become weak. I will take care of you until I've done my best, as I wish you would do the same for me. I will care for you like Gus cared for Hazel in "The Fault In Our Stars." I promise to lie there with you when old age creeps around and takes over your body. I will be there for your last breath. When you're strong I vow to not be the reason you become weak, for I would feel like a failure. I'd feel like a failure for not keeping you strong, like I would promise in our wedding vows. I promise to love you through sickness and through health, and whatever life has to offer us.

You are my everything:

I am very indecisive and always have trouble picking my favorite anything. Without a doubt though, you will be my favorite everything. You will be the one I run to when I need to tell someone about my day. You will be my rock, the one that will be strong for me day in and day out. Your smile will be the only smile I'll need to see because it's the only thing that will brighten my day.

Just know everything about you will be my favorite, no matter what life throws at us.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
