An Open Letter To The Husband I'm Praying For

I hope you have been praying for me as I have for you.

Maybe I am not so far off from finding you, or maybe you are a million miles away at this point in time. Either way, I cannot wait to meet you. Or maybe I know you, but have no clue what you will mean to me one day. Every girl always dreams and fantasizes about the day she will find her perfect man, and I cannot wait to sit back one day and connect it all to you. You better know that I waited a long time for you, but I am glad you took your time in finding me. I did not have the easiest path leading to you. There have been upsets, failures, heartaches, and wasted time from every relationship before you. I cannot wait to leave those all in the past and start something fresh with you in my future as my forever.

But just know what I have been through has made me a better, more loving woman for you. I have learned to put aside difference and communicate like adults from an ex who constantly was condescending or constantly yelling. I have learned to not automatically jump to conclusions after numbers of times crying assuming the worst when really everything was fine. I have learned to listen instead of talking over men like I did sometimes in the past. While there were many other things I have learned, the lessons along the way were to prepare me for you. I am sure you learned some lessons on your rough and beaten path to me as well, and I will be interested to hear about them.

I hope you have been praying for me all these years like I have for you. I also know my family has been praying for you as well, so do not let them down. I cannot wait to have a healthy, lasting relationship with you once our paths cross.

Until then, I will be praying.

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.
