To My Future Husband

I promise to love you, feed you, and never leave you.

To My Future Husband
Olivia Thomas

Dear future husband,

I've spent hours upon hours wondering who you were, what your personality was like, how we would meet, and everything in between. I've thought about what our house will look like, all the memories we will make together, what a wonderful father you will be to our children, and our life as we grow old together. I will always stand by your side and I will always support you, even when no one else does. Hand in hand, we will conquer anything life throws at us, together. I know that after a long day at work, I'll be able to come home to you and feel all my worries melt away as we dance around the kitchen while cooking supper.

Thank you. I don't say this enough and I probably will never be able to say this enough. Thank you for all that you do. Thank you for loving me unconditionally. Thank you for holding me while I ugly cry over something that many people wouldn't find important, but I do. Thank you for supporting me while I'm in college, because without you and my family's support, I couldn't do it.Thank you for being my person and for standing by my side. Thank you for choosing me to be your wife and thank you for giving me the opportunity to come into your life forever.

I love you. This I will probably say way too much. I fell in love with you in a short period of time, and I fell in love with you for so many different reasons.I knew from the moment I met you, I wanted to marry you. I always said I would only marry a man who loved God more than he loved me, and then I met you. I love you for praying with me. I love you for encouraging me to keep going, even when things are hard. I love you because you make me laugh everyday. I love the way you look at me, and how I can be myself around you. I'm not quite sure what I did to be so blessed as to call you mine, but I'm so glad I did it.

I'm sorry. I should definitely say this more than I do. I'm sorry for my attitude 95% of the time. I'm sorry about all the little things that I got mad or upset over, when they didn't even matter. I'm sorry for freaking out and overreacting most of the time. I am sorry about all the nights I have to work late and can't be home with you. I'm sorry for all the times that I burn supper, but at least you get Chinese takeout when I do.

Marriage isn't a 50-50 deal, it's a 100-100 deal. We will have our ups and downs, just like every marriage. But when I get mad and want to walk away, don't let me. I promise to never go to bed angry, and I promise to always kiss you goodnight. As we grow closer to God, we will grow closer to each other. My mom once told me that a man can love me best when he loves God first, and I'm so glad that you fit that statement.

You embody everything that 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 says. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." I am so glad I found you and I can't wait to see what life has in store for us.

Love,

Your future wife

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
