A Thank-You Letter To My Boyfriend's Family
Christi Vandegrift

To my boyfriend's family:

Let me tell you, I was so nervous to meet all of you. I had to make sure that I made a great first impression. No pressure, right? But you welcomed me with open arms, just like your son did. You greeted me with a smile and I couldn't have been happier. Over time, I became more comfortable and through all dinners, picnics, and parties, I got to know you all a lot better. And because of all the great memories from the first day to now, I wanted to say thank you.

Thank you for supporting me and your son's relationship. I know sometimes it's hard to let this girl come in from nowhere and have her become your son's whole world, but you saw how happy we were and I guess you decided to let me stick around. You always want to take cute pictures of us and talking about the two of us being married and having a family of our own someday is a topic that comes up quite a few times in your house. It's the best feeling knowing that you not only approve of us being together, but you also want nothing but happiness for our future.

Thank you for accepting my family along with me. Trust me, they can be a little crazy! But they love your son and are so happy that I have such a caring boyfriend . Over the past two years, I've watched our two families melt into one, and it makes me smile just thinking about it. Whether it's a backyard barbecue at your house or a homemade pasta dinner at mine, our families always have a fun time together.

Thank you for becoming my second family. I finally have the sisters I've always wanted! I'm always invited to every single family event of yours, I'm introduced to more people than I can remember, and family dinners truly feel like family dinners to me. Your home has become my second home, and my car is there so much that it has its own parking space in your driveway. I truly feel like a part of the family.

Most importantly, though, thank you for raising such an amazing son and grandson. I love him more than I could ever express in words. He respects me, is loyal to me, can always make me smile, and has shown me what true love is. I know he wouldn't be nearly as amazing as he is without you to guide him and and show him what's right and wrong. I certainly am blessed to have him by my side, and I want you to know that everything I do for my future is going towards our future together. I will never take his love for granted, and I'm so excited to start my life with him soon.

Thank you for your support, your love, and the many laughs we've shared as one big family! And here's to many more years of amazing memories!

Sincerely,

Your future daughter-in-law

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.
