Mom and Dad.

I need to dedicate a post to my most amazing mom and dad. I have the best parents anyone could ever ask for. Everyday I feel more grateful for them and all the things they do for me and how they have raised me. My mom and dad are awesome. They taught me and my sister to respect others and most importantly respect ourselves. "Treat others the way you want to be treated" was heard frequently at our house. We learned to have strong values and always stand up for what we believed in. Stick up for the people you care about and love them unconditionally. It's hard to put into words what growing up was like, it was the perfect balance of discipline and fun, work and play, sheltered and growing. The other day I was listening to the song American Honey by Lady A and that part that says, '...she grew up good and she grew up slow.. like american honey..' That is exactly the way I feel about by growing up years... I didn't have to grow up too fast, I was able to enjoy it and only worry about kid stuff. Perfect. It's kinda funny looking back because there were times that I thought I had it so bad... I had know idea the life my parents were giving me. I feel like my sister and I were spoiled in a good way. :) My parents got us everything we needed (and we never wanted for much) but we still learned how to work hard and be respectful. My parents taught us to love one another and we knew they loved each other. We have wonderful grandparents that loved us and were so much fun to be around. Our extended family [aunts, uncles, cousins] are close-knit as well. I just love my family. But anyways....

My Mom.
She is amazing. That is the only word I can describe her with. She gives and gives and gives. She is my hero. This last weekend she came up and watched Noah for me and trev so we could go out. Not only did she watch my adorable, bratty son... but when we got home my house was spotless-she had even done our dishes. She never sleeps! She is like superwoman! I hope I can be amazing like her. Me and T like to tease her but truth is we know how blessed we are to have a great mom like her. We always hear stories about others moms and we talk about how happy we are that we have her.She loves us unconditionally [something I didnt fully understand until I became a mom]. I love her and I look up to her so much. I am thankful for her love and for all she gives to me, trevor, and noah. I don't know what we would do without her.

My Dad.
Oh my dad is awesome. He is the coolest dad ever. He helps me with everything. This weekend he went and cut down a Christmas tree for us. It is beautiful and I just love it! My dad is my go to guy he fixes everything for me. He is kind and giving and I am lucky to call him Dad. My dad was the more lenient with us growing up. If we wanted a later curfew or extra money we always asked him. Haha. He is also my hero. He teaches me to be strong and to stand up for myself. Thanks dad, for all you do for me and my family. I don't know what I would do without you.


My parents are amazing, I don't think they will ever know just how wonderful they are. But I was seriously blessed when it comes to my family.
