Yesterday evening I hung out with my mom and dad. I've been out of the house for about three months now and I've gone from seeing my parents every single day to a few times a week. Yesterday afternoon, I stopped by my parents' house and took my mom with me to do some shopping. It ended up being that I didn't find anything, but she came home with a myriad of things for her house. We had a great time talking and just spending some quality time together. When we got back my dad was ready to eat dinner, so we went out. It was nice to share dinner with my parents and listen to them talk. As I sat with them, I was reminded of how special times like these are. I am blessed to have my parents in my life and I am blessed that we get to spend time together. We always have a good time. Here's what you need to know about my parents:
-
Every conversation they have will always include a story regarding one of their grandchildren. They're grandparents, they have the right to brag.
-
My dad will tell a joke at some point in the evening.
-
My mom could be an anchor, reporter, sportscaster, and weatherperson for FOX news. She knows what's going on everywhere.
-
They love God.
-
They love their children.
-
They love their grandchildren even more.
-
They love their church.
-
After 48 years of being together, they are still in love.
-
They are our family's biggest cheerleaders.
-
They are always there for us.
Those are just some quick hits about the two most fabulous people in my life. I thank God for my mom and dad. They are my life's biggest blessing.
Amen, little Deb. Love you mom & dad.

Yes, your parents are great people. Your whole family is awesome. We've known you for less than a year, but it doesn't take long to see that you're all amazing people, full of the spirit.
