Domestic Woman

So, I have a dream.
And it's pretty rad.

Become
a sweet-awesome
domestic woman.

What does these mean?

It means when I say
"I do"
to the greatest man alive,
I will be able to sew clothes
for the children.
I will have fantastic {and cheap} meals
on the table the first week
of our marriage, and forever.
I can say I bought an old dresser
and fixed it up to show it's true beauty.

I will know how to clean everything.
I will know about the plants in our garden
and know how to help them grow.
I'll know how to take care of a child.
I'll know how to pay the bills
{though my hubbie will greatly be assisting me}.

I will play with my children...
have annual mud-fights
and pillow fights...
and they will know
their mommy and daddy loves them.
I'll shower them with kisses
and make lunches...each different
to meet their needs.

And above all,
I will teach my children
the remarkable gospel of Jesus Christ.
They will know how much Heavenly Father
and Christ love them.
My husband and I will create a
"heaven on earth"
for our beautiful children.

With dreams
comes a lot of hard work
and "enjoying the scenery"
along the way.
{if you don't believe me,
watch Princess and the Frog};)

With the amazing help
of the Young Women Recognition Award,
I have had opportunities to learn how to
sew, cook, organize, and even budget.

So I'm not starting from ground zero. :)

Some of my projects this summer
to help me prepare for marriage
a household of babies, and develop
this young woman before you
are as follows:

*Fix any repairs for my clothing.
{College? I fixed a skirt, sewed on buttons,
patched my friend's jeans, and reconstructed
sandals. Boo-yah.}
-I'm working on a shirt right now!
I removed an unwanted ruffle
and am putting some lace on it.
Sweet.
*Sand down and repaint a desk
I bought at DI for college and my future home,
and do some crafty- mod podge on the drawers.
*Help the garden. Weed. Make name-tags for plants.
*Continue to help my mommy in cooking.
I can't believe how much I've learned
even in the past two weeks!
*Job. Budget. Period.
*Continue to write down ideas
of traditions/tips for my future fam.
*Recipe box
*Shoes? Old? Whatev. I'll make them
shine once again!
*Finally finish the scrapbook for my
Best Friend that I promised would be done
after the mish.
*Zumba


And there are many more.
The list is continual.
I refuse to be a newly wed woman
and have no idea what I'm doing.
It just AIN'T gonna happen.

I'm on my way...
doing all I can to reach
my destiny
as a domestic woman.

Little Besty
is livin' the dream.

Love always,
Little Besty
