10 Promises To My Future Husband I Will Not Make

I will do my best at being your wife but, I will be far from perfect.

Being married and getting married is about the truth. I know that when I find my future husband that I will never be making these 10 promises.

1. We will always have a clean house.

This will be a promise that will never come out of my mouth. Yes, I will clean and organize our house. But, I won't mop and swept all the time because there will be days that I have either had a bad day at work and want to relax or I will be too busy and won't have time to clean.

2. We will never fight. 

We will have our share of fights because I'm stubborn and I will fight with you for some stupid reason. Just know that no matter what I will be the first to say sorry.

3. We will always have a home cooked meal.

This is a promise that I won't even try to make. We will have take out probably a few nights during the week. So, don't complain and just smile when I bring it home because when this happens just know that we will be cuddling in bed and watching TV for the rest of the night.

4.  You can watch whatever you want during the Hallmark Christmas Countdown.

This is a promise that you will never hear come out of mouth at all. Just know that starting in October and lasting through January, you will not have control of the TV when I am home. So, you better just enjoy the sweet Christmas movies with me and by the time it's over you will know what happens in every one of them.

5.  I will always look presentable no matter what.

I won't be that wife that gets up every morning and does her hair and make up. I will be that wife that gets up and throws her hair in a messy bun and puts on one of your big shirts and Nike Shorts. I will get all dolled up for the important events we go to but, just know on Saturdays I will be looking like a hot mess.

6. I won’t watch sports or hunting with you.

Just know that we will watch the Outdoor Channel and ESPN together. So, when you think that I will go to the other room and you can watch TV alone, you better think again because I will be watching it with you.

7. I won’t bring any dogs home.

If I find a dog on the side of the road just know that it's coming home with me and there really isn't anything that you can do about it. That's plain and simple.

8. I won’t have my friends spend the night with us.

Yeah this is going to happen and you will be bumped out of our bed and into the guest bedroom because we will be having a girls night and our bed will be the only bed that will fit all of us in it.

9. I will wait on you hand and foot.

You are a grown man and you can fix and get yourself whatever you need. I won't fix your plate and treat you like a 5 year old because I will have to be taking care of myself. Sorry but, I'm not going to be that type of wife.

10. I won’t break anything….

I will break something in the house and you will end up having to fix it. I will tell you sorry a million times and that I won't break it again but, honestly it will happen again. I break things or mess things up and that's what makes me the person I am.

All these promises will not be a reality to us because life will be perfect because we love each other. Just know that some days, that we will be in our pj's all day and that will be perfect to me.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

boy in adult clothes

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

Seriously, who wouldn't love pizza?

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.
