Today is my parents' 20th wedding anniversary!!!!!!!!
And I just wouldn't feel right without posting something about them! It helps that I was dying to write up something about them for this series anyways. Really, my Dad and Mom are amazing. Their marriage has always been a shining example for me. I've learned so much by watching their interactions with each other, and how they work as a team to handle tough situations. Their energy seems to be unending, which is fantastic since there are six kiddos relying on their wisdom, leadership, and fun! Since 20 is such a big number, though I think that every anniversary is incredible special and noteworthy, they were able to take a week long getaway to the mountains in late October. I was planning to share a picture of the beautiful waterfalls and scenery, but then I somehow couldn't find the pictures from their trip.

The Bible tells us many times to honor our mothers and fathers, and while I definitely don't show mine the respect and attentiveness they deserve all of the time, I want to honor them today for their commitment and dedication to each other and to raising each of their children in the ways of God. I feel richly blessed to be able to share my struggles and cry with them, tell my worst jokes and laugh with them, and spill anything that's on my mind and receive their help.
Thank you Lord for the awesome parents you've given me, and thank you, Daddy and Mommy, for everything you pour into me. I am who I am because of your instruction, love and wisdom.
