Dear Future Husband,

I've been thinking about you a lot lately with graduation approaching, because as I take my first steps into the real world, I feel as though you are not going to be to far behind. I believe that when I do find you, we are going to be the perfect match for each other. I think about the trips that we will take and the adventures that we will eventually embark on when that time does come when we enter into each other's lives. I think about our family, what our kids names will be, what cute Notre Dame onesies they will wear (because they will be ND fans) and how adorable we will be walking around the park together hand in hand. I sit and think about all the positives and joys you will bring, and how lucky I am going to be when I have you in my life. However, I know I will need to prepare myself emotionally for you as well.

My heart has been broken, battered, and bruised. I have kissed frog after frog with the hopes of one day hoping that I soon find you. The one man that was suppose to give me the proper male guidance was the first person to ever break my heart. My trust in people is non-existent because they never come into my life with the intention of staying. I have welcomed my share of pain and heartache when it comes to finding "the one." But I have chosen to not give up the search but, rather, take a step back and fully prepare myself to be your wife.

I want our marriage to be like the ones that you see in the movies. I want people to be shocked that we have been together for 50 years when we send out our anniversary party invitations. I want our children to mirror their relationships after what we have because they should be taught from day one what true love really looks like. Divorce is not an option once we get married; we will fight and we will get angry but the structure and the foundation of our relationship will allow for us to talk things through and work it out.

Even though my friends make me jealous when I see them with their fiance's and their babies, I know that we aren't ready to meet each other just yet. Yes, I know that I have some time before you arrive in my life, but when you do come I promise you three things. The first is that I promise you will never go a day without knowing how much I love you. The second is that I promise our life together will be full of fun, spontaneity, and adventure. Finally, the third is that I promise that I will wake up and fall in love with you all over again everyday.

Sincerely,

Your Future Wife
