30 Years & Still Going Strong

"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends." - Corinthians 13:7-8

Yesterday was a very special day in my house - it was my mom and dad's 30th wedding anniversary! My parents marriage has been one of the greatest gifts in my life. They have taught me how to truly love another unconditionally and how to create a loving and lasting marriage. 
With each year that has passed I believe my parents have fallen more and more in love with each other. They are truly best friends and enjoy spending time together. Whether it is playing tennis, watching sports, or just going on a walk around the neighborhood, they always have the best time when they are together. Growing up, I always saw my parents affection towards each other and constantly heard them saying "I love you." It wasn't until I was older that I learned to appreciate this and was able to see just how great their relationship really is. 

My mom and dad have been the greatest example I could ask for. I hope that one day I can have a marriage just as amazing as theirs. They have taught me compassion, forgiveness, perseverance, and the importance of trust and communication. I am so unbelievably thankful for them and proud to be their daughter. 
"The greatest thing a father can do for his daughter is to love her mother."
Happy 30th wedding anniversary, mom & dad! I love you both very much.
