My parents are now grandparents and to say that they are loving it is quite the understatement. I don't think there is a prouder Pappy and Grammy to be found. God has truly blessed our family so much.
The reason for this article is to tell you about my wonderful parents; the two that started it all. They have been striving after the Lord and have lead our family well. They're not perfect but they are doing their best to follow the Lord's will for our home. I didn't think it would be right of me, when speaking of my family, to pass over them when they have done so much to bring us where we are now.
First comes Daddy. Some of the words that come to mind when I think of him are funny, intelligent, hard worker and adventurous; to name a few.
We have gone on many exciting adventures with Daddy in the lead. Whether that was 4 wheel driving in the outback of Australia, hunting on the prairies of Nebraska, or having a full blown water fight in the back yard! He always has a funny song to sing about one of my younger siblings and still finds time to lay on the floor and get pounced upon. :)
One of the things that I appreciate the most is Daddy's willingness to lead our family. He cares deeply about our families spiritual well being and takes the role that he was given as husband and father, seriously.
He is a wonderful example of what to look for in a future husband.
I love you, Daddy!
How would I describe my Mom? Well, she's definitely a go- getter; if something needs done she's the one that steps up and gets things rolling. She is submissive, but she'll be the first to tell me that it isn't always easy. She is creative, funny (especially after 9:30 pm), gentle and a good friend.
I'm so thankful for the great example that Mommy has set for me as a wife and mother. She has been homeschooling for almost 19 years and even when she is worn out she still presses on, taking this opportunity to build a firm foundation for her kids that will last.
I love you, Mommy!
So, in conclusion I must say that in all their imperfections I have the greatest parents ever and I wouldn't trade them for anything!!
They've been married 25 years and still love to laugh and tease with each other. That's exactly how I want to be. :)
Love you both so much!!
