Mom and Dad

I'm back to writing about the people in my life that I am thankful for, and I feel the need to include my mom and dad. I know, you are wondering why I didn't write about them sooner. Well, I really wanted to think about what I wanted to say! I don't feel obligated to include them just because they are my parents, but rather because they have been some of the most amazing parents ever. I don't even think I could list off all of the reasons I am thankful for them, but I will do my best:

They will have been married for 32 years in April and they are just as in love as they ever were. I am thankful for this because they taught me how to have a strong, solid marriage. They teach marriage and parenting classes at our church and I feel like I have so much to learn from them.

My dad taught me to have respect for myself. He taught me that I was a girl who could have standards and that I was worth something. He taught me not to settle. My dad always made me feel so special. I know that it is because of him that I am the strong woman I am today and have married the amazing guy that I did.

My mom is my source of constant wisdom. I talk to her all the time and she always has some sort of great advice for me. As I have grown up, she has become my best friend. I pretty much tell her everything. She helps me be a better wife and friend and I know that one day when I have kids, she will help me be a better mother. And, as a bonus, she is SO hilarious! Everywhere we go, we just laugh the whole time!


God couldn't have given me better parents.
