An Open Letter To My Future Spouse

Dear future husband, 

I'm waiting anxiously for the day that you become all mine to love and cherish till the end of this life and into the next. To come home to a home that's all ours with little loves running through the halls. To create a life with you that we'll one day look back on and smile, remembering all of the amazing memories we created and shared together.


I'm praying for you.
I pray that you're a God-fearing man who loves and respects the woman who should be the most important woman in your life, your mama, so that one day, you'll set an example for our son, so he knows how a woman is to be respected and treasured, and our daughter, so she knows what real love looks like and never settles for anything less.  I pray that you're valuing your education right now, and that you'll continue to put time and effort into your studies. Knowledge is and always will be power and the key to your success. 


I'm praying for myself.
I pray that I can be even half of the woman that raised you to be the man of my dreams. I hope and pray that I can be an amazing mother to our children, teaching them right from wrong, and how to be good, faithful Christians in a world full of darkness. I pray for courage and strength to be your rock and safe haven when you need me to be.


I'm praying for those who loved you first.
I pray that whoever came before me, loved and cherished you the way you deserve to be. I thank God that he allowed you to see that you deserve much, much more in life, and sent you on your way, one step closer to me. I pray that whoever came before me honored your Christian values and didn't try to take advantage. And if there is girl lucky enough to hold your heart right now, I pray that she understands just how precious that heart and soul is.

I can't imagine the day you walk into my life and make me your wife. I long for the day I will get to only ever say goodnight; never goodbye. I look forward to going places where only we will have been. I pray for patience upon my heart until this happens.

Love, 
​Your Bride-To-Be

Changing Perspectives

What if, at the end of the day, we focus on what's holding us together,  rather than what's tearing us apart? Do you ever feel like you're just barely holding on?  ...like life couldn't possible get any worse?  Do you feel like you're running in circles in your relationship and you don't know why? ...like you're constantly fighting about the same things, and nothing ever gets better? What would happen if you decided to just take a step back for a second and remember? Really look into her eyes and see the beauty that is your girl.  Remember why you fell for her in the first place.  Remember the laugh that only happens when you're around.  Remember the late night talks spent getting to know one another all those years ago.  Remember all those little things about her. And then learn how to love again. Hold her hand. Laugh with her. Hold her softly. Calm all of her fears..gently.  Make her know tha...

A Letter To You, My Love

Dear you, Distance is supposed to make the heart grow fonder right? Distance also tests us, and challenges us, and makes us say and do things we wish we could take back as soon as the words are said. The stubborn, selfish side of me says that my heart grows just as fond of you when I'm living 10 minutes away from you, not 2 hours. I hate being away from you. But the real side of me, the side you fell in love with, the selfless, the kind-hearted, the compassionate woman I am proud to be, knows this distance is going to be so worth it in the end. It's going to force us to put one another first in all circumstances. It's going to test our love, and make us prove how much the other person means to each other. It's going to show us whether or not we're really a priority in our busy lives. Communication and trust are key in making us work. Simple texts throughout the day, a random selfie, a late night unexpected phone call, and so much more become so precious and valu...

Lessons Learned

18 years. 216 months. 936 weeks. 6750 days. 157680 hours. 9460800 minutes. 567648000 seconds. Life has a funny way of getting away from you really quickly. One minute you're 5 running around a farm chasing barn cats and feeding the goats, and the next minute you're crying over boys and getting ready to pack up everything and move away to college. But the thing I've come to realize is that life didn't change, you  changed. You might fall down, but you need to learn how to stand back up, brush it off, and never let the same thing knock you over twice. 1. People are temporary; So are feelings. It's a part of life. One of the hardest things I've had to learn how to deal with is how to say goodbye to people I didn't want to let go of, and hello to people I was skeptical about letting in. I didn't want to say goodbye because I was happy and content, and even if I wasn't all the time, it's still what I was used to, a...
