Welcome to the family! As you have already learned, and will continue to learn, my family is an extremely loud swarm of chaos. And by marrying my brother you are accepting us and loving us just the same.

And that makes you a brave women.

My family is hard to handle and it can be intimidating at times, but we welcome you with open arms. You are now one of us, crazy people. Enjoy the weird.

My brother has been the one person who I have looked up to more than anyone else. We love him and will do anything for him. And we know you would too.

As you also already know, my brother is a picky and difficult person. Which makes him who he is, and is another reason why we love that weirdo. But that means you are now the main person who has to deal with his stubbornness.

Good luck! I know you can do it though.

My brother loves you more than he has ever loved anybody else. You have his whole heart, please treat it with care and protect it with my life.

Love him with all your heart. Love him more than you love yourself. Love him when he is happy. Love him when he is angry. Love him through his highs and lows. Love him even when he is not acting very lovable. Everyone gets that way sometimes.

As your sister-in-law, I promise to be there for you and help you through your life with my brother. I will be there to keep him busy when you need a day to yourself. I will stand by you guys and watch you grow together.

My family welcomes you with open arms, you have made my brother so happy and that makes us happy.

Your life together is about to begin, and I know the journey will be a long one. There may be bumps along the way but I know you two will get over them with the help of each other.

My new sister-in-law, welcome to the family. Sit back and enjoy the circus. It's going to be a long and fun ride.

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:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
