and I want to be able to raise a family and love my kids the way they raised and loved us. Emy, Corey and I grew up watching our parents love each other more than themselves and when you see a relationship like that for 20+ years, you can’t help but desire that for your own life.  I guess that’s why the three of us never really had a bunch 2 – 3 month relationships in high school that just consisted of texting and hanging out at football games.  I think we’ve always had such a high expectation for relationships because Momma and Daddy set the bar… and they set it HIGH! …. And I’m thankful for that. I’m so thankful for parents that have modeled a beautiful marriage for us our whole lives and today, on their 29th anniversary… I just want to thank them.

So Momma and Daddy…. THANK YOU for being an example… thank you for practicing what you preach (literally…daddy’s a pastor:)… and thank you for being committed to loving each other for a lifetime.  Your marriage and the way you love and serve each other has changed my life and has had more impact on MY marriage than you’ll ever know and we’re s0 thankful for that. HAPPY 29th ANNIVERSARY!!  I love you both!!!!
