Thankful

I found this idea on another blog.

I don't always follow the rules, and this is no exception!

I am a week late.

I didn't write them a letter.

But, I am posting it on my blog..and I know they will read it!

So here is my first "thankful on paper" post.

Mom and Dad,

I am so thankful to have you in my life. And not just as a small part of my life, but in a huge part of my life. Even though I am the big 3-0 now, I still call you daily (ok, more than daily mom..like 3 or 4 times some days).

You have led by a pretty good example too. You have shown what a truly loving marriage looks like. After 33 years of marriage you still enjoy each other. Love each other. Have fun with each other. And want to be together. I can only hope that Seth and I have as strong of a marriage that you've shown me.

You have also taught me how to be a good mommy to my 2 little ones. You have listened when I have called you hundreds (possibly thousands) of times so you could hear them laugh, say momma, ball, or to just listen to a funny story. You have given advice when I was at my wits end. You have complimented my parenting skills, and told me how proud you are of me and how I am raising my kids. And you have driven in the middle of the night to be by my side during the scariest moment of my life.

You have taught me how to be silly, make people laugh, and not take things to seriously (thanks dad).

You have taught me to shop like no other, be a good friend, and clean my house...well I am still working on that last one (right mom??).

I am thankful to have you as my parents.

eye heart u
