Success.

Success. 34 years together. Two of my best friends. Their laughter fills my childhood home where my children now go to play. May May and Papa are equally best friends with Aubrey and Autumn. The squeals that fill the car when we turn on their street (though only 4 streets away) is always one of the best sounds to hear.

They go above and beyond for their family and always made sure we had what we needed and were happy. Even when when we are adults, married, with kids and in our own homes. This challenge was perfect timing too. A year ago tomorrow it will be 1 year since our house flooded when I was 40 weeks pregnant. Definitely not what we anticipated happening, but my parents opened their home to a newborn, a two year old, three weenie dogs, and two very exhausted parents without even blinking an eye.

My mom is always there for me and I swear we have one brain. She knows what I am thinking before I even have the chance to say it out loud and I swear I almost pee my pants laughing every time I am with her. My dad is the rock to our family and has the best dad jokes around. I think my favorite is the 'am I earrrritating you??' as he wiggles his finger near our ears. I do it to Aubrey now and I can totally see why it is hysterical.

Day by day they show our family what it's like to be successful. How to love. Where to go in life and guide us to make adult decisions that would be right for our family. Even if its just laying on the couch watching the news together, playing games on their phones, going to shows, or out to dinner, they would rather be together than apart.

I am truly blessed to have such amazing, loving, caring and beyond perfect parents. Thank you for showing me how to be successful and how to love my spouse and my family unconditionally. I love you more than you will ever know.
