16 Promises For My Soon-To-Be Husband, One Year Away From Our Wedding

To my now fiancé and soon-to-be husband,

We have about one more year to go before our big day, something we've both been looking forward to before we even got engaged. I swore that when I was younger, I would never get married. That's probably because I never saw myself getting married because nobody wants to be with a girl who is asleep more than she is awake and when she is awake, she's eating her weight in chicken nuggets. Oddly enough, you wanted to be with me aka that girl.

I promise that our wedding day will be everything we expected it to be. I'm sure there will be a few mishaps and things may not go exactly as planned, but as long as we're leaving that venue as newlyweds, I could care less what happens leading up to it.

I promise to still be silly and laugh with you even after we're married. We're always making jokes and laughing with each other now, so I don't expect it to be any different after we're married. But, just in case.

I promise to eventually stop talking about the wedding... which probably won't ever happen. But, I promise to work on it.

I promise to not get upset when you take the blanket completely off of me in your sleep. I'll just freeze to death.

I promise to try on how often I roll my eyes. I do it without realizing and that's how you know it's a problem.

I promise to watch whatever shows you decide to put on while we're laying in bed no matter how stupid I think they are.

I promise I'll keep your shirts and hoodies clean while i'm wearing them. Well, I'll try at least.

I promise to keep dividing responsibilities evenly because I know how much you hate washing silverware.

I promise I'll be quiet while you play your online games, but I can't promise that I won't laugh when you're screaming at the TV.

I promise to always offer a bite of something I'm eating (because I can totally see you eyeing it in my peripheral vision)

I promise to let you cook most of the time because we all know what happens when I try to cook (like when there is more thyme than there is chicken...)

I promise to always be your #1 fan.

I promise to always admit that I'm wrong when I am (there may or may not be an apology).

I promise to listen to the same story 10 times before losing my mind.

I promise to share my chicken nuggets, even if I don't have many left.

I promise to be the best wife and mother to our future children.

Thank you for putting up with me the way that you do even though I'm more than a handful most of the time. I love you more than you could ever imagine. Only one more year until we're married.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
