A Love Like Yours

A love that includes all emotions, but is always based on respect and trying to be your best. A love that I hope to have one day and a love that is real.

After almost 6 years of being together, it is time to celebrate a love like yours.

A love that started in a college dorm room with a card game and a movie night. Through 5 years of college, you learned each others strengths, weaknesses, dealt with struggles and triumphs and the dream engagement at sunset in a magical foreign land.

This past weekend, you were the princess and you took everyone’s breath away! You were glowing and walking out of that church, you got your happily ever after with your prince.

To the groom, my big brother, you have always been my hero. Seeing you fall in love has made me so happy because your heart is so big, you deserved to find someone who loved you just as much.

You two are the couple that I have looked up to and being able to stand up for you on your wedding day is an honor I am forever thankful for. I see you two as my older siblings who have shown me that the struggles of being an adult are worth it in the end and there is no one right way to happiness.

In the past year, you got a house, a puppy, new jobs and now wedding rings. I know it has been an emotional time for you both and those around you, but it was all worth it to see the smiles on your face as you became husband and wife.

I think everyone wants a love like yours. A love that includes all emotions, but is always based in respect and trying to be your best. A love that I hope to have one day and a love that is real.

If I haven’t said it enough, I love you and I congratulate you on becoming husband and wife! I send you love and prayers for a beautiful marriage. I can’t wait for what is ahead for you both!

Love,

Lily

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?

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.
