<3 my family

Now that I've returned from my trip and my family is whole again (Brittani is in town for the next couple of months!) we went out this afternoon for lunch at Chili's filling our faces with yummy goodness and their amazing chocolate molten lava cake...uh-may-zing. It disappeared with in seconds!

I'm so blessed to have 3 amazing older sisters that are so close with one another and would drop anything in their life for each other, Especially when Brittani is visiting! *also grateful for their understanding husband for the long disappearances so we can

re unite*

I have 2 of the best parents, I couldn't ask for anyone better to be my mom and dad. I look back on growing up and want to thank them for keeping me grounded because they love me and only want the best for me.

I remember at times being a teenager thinking how could I have such mean and at time unfair parents to not let me stay out at all hours that I had a curfew, who grounded me when not keeping my grades up or following their rules, for not buying me the much wanted honda civic when turning sweet 16 and got instead a hand me down used ford explorer. What a MEAN mom and dad RIGHT?!

WRONG

THANK YOU mom and dad for making me have a curfew, for disciplining me when needed and actually allowing me to drive a car and actually having it all to myself. The exploder was a good car and have 6 years of memories with that thing till it finally died.

THANK YOU for teaching me to respect and love everyone, to forgive quickly *don't sweat the small stuff!* My mothers LOVE and nurturing; my fathers WISDOM and patience has taught me many life lessons the last 24 years and looking forward to many more.

If I can be half as good of a parent as they have been and continue to be than I think I'll be on the right track.
