Thankful

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do...but how much love we put in that action. Mother Teresa



I am fortunate to have been raised in a home where my parents loved each other, and still do. They have been married for almost 42 years and have shown us how to live a legacy of love. They have put their love into action. They have worked together in life as husband and wife, as parents, grandparents, business partners, spiritual partners, friends, and they are an inspiration to me. We spent the weekend with them and it was a great time, even with the plumbing mishaps! Dad and Thane tackled plumbing the newly remodeled bedroom/bathroom. They finally won, but it took awhile. It built a memory, dad! My parents have shown us how to love and how to get through the good times and the bad times together. They have shown us how to put God first and make him the center of our lives. They instilled in us the value of hard work, honesty, and integrity. They showed us that if you say you are going to do something, follow through and be a person of your word. They have taught us how to laugh and love, and get through life no matter what it hands us. I appreciate that they haven't just told us, but they have taught us through example by the life they have lived. Thanks mom and dad, we love you!
