17 things every woman should do before she gets married

So I thought it was fitting to write on this topic (that I stole from another blog) seeing as how I will be married in less than a year.

1. Live by herself for at least a year.
Been there...done that...in the frozen tundra. But I gained a sense of independence and now I'm ready for the next roommate, the hubby.

2. Live with someone else for at least a year.
All of college...4/5 girls...one house...loved it (well most of the time anyway lol)

3. Recover from a broken heart.
Sigh...more than a time a two. But it has only made me a stronger person, so for that I will forever be grateful.

4. Take a road-trip with a group of girlfriends.
Got a ticket. 3 girls in one bed. Shopping. <3 my girls ALWAYS!

5. Relish sleeping in a queen-sized bed by herself.
Never known life other than a queen...only moving up from here :-)

6. Get her finances in order.
Working on it...day by day

7. Learn to love her body.
Definitely used to be that shy little girl with big, baggy, boy clothes. NOW...you can't tell me nothing. I know I'm hot...lol

8. Find reliable birth control.
Yeah ummm...not tryna be baby mama before wifey.

9. Pay off as much credit card debt and student loans as possible
Again...working on it. Damn retail therapy lol

10. Spend way too much on something frivolous.
Nothing big yet...but I want a Louie V bag and some Christian Louboutins'...one day a price tag won't even matter

11. Exorcise all past relationship demons.
Left the past in the past. One man has my heart and he has it forever.

12. Travel somewhere exotic.
Paris, Canada, South Africa, Bahamas...and wanting to experience plenty more

13. Establish a strong circle of friends.
I keep my friends close...could care less about enemies. More than just friends...sisters!

14. Forgive her parents for not being perfect.
I will always love them for making me me...but there is so much about me that I feel is jacked up because of them. So I forgive them...I just have to fix me :-/

15. Experience some really bad first dates.
I'm pretty easy to please...all I ask is don't be late and let's not be a jackass. So for the most part even a bad date won't be so bad in my eyes if there is food involved. Heck...at least I got fed!

16. Find hobbies that fulfill her.
Reality tv whore. avid reader. cross country driver. Texter.

Indulged. In love. Fulfilled.

17. Celebrate her 25th birthday
Couldn't have planned it better myself. I will be 25 years, 2 months, 22 days on my wedding day...I guess it's safe to say that babies are next lol


I love my life...Wouldn't change a single thing. It has made me who I am and now it's time to get ready for the next step :-D
