Day 4: My Parents

This lovely couple are my wonderful parents!

I am so blessed that God has given me such amazing parents. Together they have worked so hard to provide for their family, raise and instruct my sister and I, and raise us with strong morals and beliefs in God. And, for that I am so thankful for them and everything they have done for our family. My parents and I have always been super close. I feel that I can tell them anything and they have always been open to listening, teaching me new things, or simply just giving their shoulder for me to cry on. My parents have been there for every important moment in my life from high school and college graduations, to teaching me how to drive, to the dozens of dance recitals and performances, to my wedding only two years ago. They have loved, supported, and encouraged me every step of the way. And, though we've had our share of ups & downs we have learned to always forgive one another, talk things threw, and work to build a stronger relationship. I thank God everyday for blessing me with my parents. I love them so much!

"Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them to your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
