What I would tell you if you were here.

An Open Letter to My Future Wife
Krissy Dyches

Dear Future Wife,

I want to apologize for my actions. I have been looking for you. The problem is, when I was searching for you, I only found paths that led me away. I only found heartbreak. I was looking to find you in the wrong relationships. I was searching for quick gratification; I was more worried more with emotions and things like kissing than I was with your heart. I’m sorry.

I pray for you every night. I pray that you love God with all your heart and that you are following the will He has for your life. I know you probably have had your heartaches, but I want you to know that it is okay. I forgive you for anything that you have done, just like I want you to forgive me for what I have done. Mostly, I pray that you have decided to let go and let God. I pray that you become an amazing woman and that you have decided to let God lead you to me, instead of searching on your own. The thing is, if we search ourselves, we may never find each other. We must wait for God’s timing.

I want you to know that for the longest time, I was afraid I wasn’t going to find you. I was afraid that when I found you, you would be the woman for someone else. I was afraid that I was not going to be good enough for you. I was not trusting in God. That is a horrible road to travel. It leaves nothing but heartache for me, anyone I had a relationship with, and eventually you.

I’m sorry that I wasn’t there for your sweet sixteen, or your prom. I’m sorry that I wasn’t there to cheer you up when you had your first heartbreak. I’m sorry I have not been there for you. However, God has always been there for you. He is building you up to be the woman He wants you to be. He was also saving you from me. I haven’t been mature enough for you yet. I have not been the person you need. God has kept us apart because he knows that it has not been the right time.

I am ready to wait for you. I don’t know if we know each other or if we have to wait another five. Time will only tell. I am going to wait for God’s timing and stop trying to force it with other people. You are the only woman God has for me, so I am going to wait. I will wait if it is a month or if it is twenty years. I have decided to let God lead me to you when it is time.

Patiently waiting,

Your Future Husband

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
