Dear Mr. Right

To my future husband:
Hi.
    Let me start with, God help you for thinking it might be a good idea to spend your life with me. You have no idea what you're getting yourself into. Now I don't really know who you are, or how long it will be until I meet you, but let me just say I'm so excited to fall in love with you. I know we'll have many years of harmony and making each other laugh. It's amazing to me that you're walking around....well....it's midnight....so you're probably sleeping or up late in your room like me, but that's beside the point. The idea is that you're on this earth right now and I have literally no idea who you are. Are you on the other side of the world? Will I meet you next year in college? Do I already know you? Have I passed you in a store or have we been in the same building before completely unaware of each other? Are you that "idiot" I got mad at the other day for driving too slow? It's almost eerie. I could have looked you right in the face already, without even knowing that I'm going to spend the rest of my adult life with you.
    There are probably a few things you should know, though. Obviously if you're opting to share a life with me, you more than likely already know these things. However, I AM only eighteen right now, so I'm bound to change a LOT by the time we're married, so I guess these are more things about me and my thoughts when I was eighteen....We'll see how much all this changes.
                                                
    Right now, I'm kind of in a "who needs men?" phase....so if you're my next boyfriend, you must be pretty fantastic to pull me out of this. I know it sounds unreasonable, but I've dealt with so much (no doubt you'll hear about it) in the past year, that I really am in no mood to settle for anything less than a regular Disney prince. Oh, yeah. I'm five years old at heart. There will be Disney movies and coloring books present at all times. With or without kids (you can bet on having kids, by the way....at least 3). I can be pretty high maintence. I know...probably not something I should share, but it's true. I like a lot of "us" time.
    I don't really know what to expect in our relationship, but I know what I would like it to be. Since March of this year I've been OBSESSED with this Youtube family called, "The Shaytards". Everything I've ever wanted in a marriage and family is present in their daily vlogs. They seem perfect to me, but obviously, they aren't. No one is. However, they seem happy 98% of the time. I would love to have that. I believe there should be a "no going to bed angry" rule. Anyone I've ever gotten in a fight with will tell you that I don't like to just drop issues or "forget about it". I want to fix whatever the problem is.
    I also believe that every weekend or day off should begin with pancakes. I don't know why, it's just a thing I have in my head. Along with this, I'm a firm believer in the idea that a bubblebath with scented candles can melt away any stress....so I'll be in the bathtub a lot. With candles. Oh! That reminds me. Perfect gift for Sierra: scented candles......obviously. :P Not that I expect a lot of gifts. Honestly, I'd rather go DO things.
    Which brings me to my next thought. I'd love for us to travel and have adventures together. My mom has been skydiving twice, but so far, has been hesitant to take me. Of course, now that's something I'm dying to do. Wanna jump out of a plane with me?
    I'm sure you'll probably already know this, but I'm very energetic and my brain moves faster than my mouth sometimes. I can be all over the place and forget things...so be patient with me when I ask you who your favorite band/musician is for the 34th time.
    Friends and family are also very important to me. Not just mine, yours. It will eat me up if your friends or family don't like me and I will do whatever I can to try to appeal to them. It's just how I am...for now, anyway. I believe that when you date someone, you're dating their whole entorage (probably didn't spell that right...) too.
    I realize I'm talking about myself a lot here, but that's because I can't talk about you, because I don't know you yet! I'm so impatient to meet you, though. I know we'll have lots of great memories and very happy lives. I look forward to every future memory we're going to make. Until then, whoever you are.
