Someday, I want to sign my name as Mrs. {insert future husband's first & last name}...

when i worked retail, the cute old ladies used to sign their checks like that and i thought it was precious. At 17, i knew that's what i was going to do someday.

Someday, i'm going to going to have babies with the name i sign.
i'm going to call them their minnie-me's.

i don't have baby fever just yet...
but today at lunch i had a baby shower for a girl i used to work with.

going shopping for her little girl-to-be was so much fun. So many cute things for little girls.

someday, i'm going to going to have babies with the name i sign.

ps.... future husband, the shoes weren't on her registry but you will know this KNOWN fact very well: i love shoes. in fact, you'll get mad at how much space i will take in our closet with my heels.

but you would have smiled at the add-on gift of pink shoes because you would have thought, "it's so micaela, it's so my wife."

dear future husband,

i am lonley. that is the worse ache.
i really wish i belonged to you already.

i'm feeling sick and it's not an ideal time.
i have to pack a house that feels empty and if you were here husband, you would do all the heavy lifting. you would play me elton john and tell me to take a break and we'd dance in our socks.

i kinda even want to call you up right now and tell you about the fun lunch i had with my girlfriends today.

they made your future wife (me, silly!) laugh... and the best part- i made them laugh.
i was quite proud.

i feel the chills of sickness coming on, and i really wish i could feel your warmth.

xo,
your future wife
