To The Boy I Marry

Because I pray for you every single day, and I hope you pray for me too.

To The Boy I Marry
Marysa Wigley

I thought about you today, but I really I think about you every single day. I thought about the way your voice sounds when you speak and the color of your eyes and how sweet your laugh must be. I get excited for the day when our laughs are a mix and I can't tell the difference between the two because we will eventually become one. I get excited when I think about how we will wake up next to each other and I'll close my eyes and re-open them just to make sure I'm not dreaming anymore. I think of all the special times we will share and why I never shared them with anyone else in my life. I think about the day I will stand in front of you and promise my life in front of you and our closest friends and family. I don't know exactly what you're thinking all the time, but I pray you're thinking about me too and our future together. And really, I'm sure you're just out there being the most precious guy I know of.

I pray for your future a lot. I pray that when you're in school, you don't stress like me. You feel calm. I pray that you want to be working man and that while you're working, you're doing it in a field that you have absolutely fallen in love with and you wake up everyday excited to conquer life. I pray that we will never suffer and we will have all the desires of our hearts and for our homes.

Above everything I could pray for, I pray for your heart. That it is filled with joy and the love of Jesus. That you are so abundantly blessed with love that you will love me in the same way. That you are never discouraged and you are always motivated to follow the path that is made for you. I pray that we will be able to lean on each other in the bad and celebrate the good.

I want you to be patient with me even when I do not deserve it. You will learn that I'm such a handful and I know it to be true. I want you to be loved by so many around you like I know I will love you. I hope that I am always reminded of the eager, fearless man that you are and your dedication to our life. I can't wait for the day your family pulls me to the side and reminds me of the precious treasure you are how I am to protect you and guard your heart because you are few and far in between.

I know in the heart of who I am that you were made for me and hand crafted by our maker to fit everything I've ever needed. I am excited for our future, for our life, for our endeavors. I will love you forever until I can't any longer. I hope that somewhere, someday - you've stopped and prayed for someone like me.

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…

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.
