The 12 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 11

I totally almost typed "The 12 Days of Christmas" for the title!

Day 11: I'm thankful for Mom & Dad, Grandma E., and Grandma C.
To put it simply, I would not be who I am without my parents and grandparents.

Both of my parents are extremely hard-working people who sacrificed over and over again to give me what I needed and most of what I wanted. From the very beginning they provided a loving home and taught me the value of family. They encouraged me to always do my best and comforted me when my best wasn't quite good enough. They support my crazy ideas, yet offer well-thought out advice when necessary. I'm probably most thankful that my parents have and continue to be a godly example to me. There's absolutely no telling where I would be without them.

I think one of the many reasons my parents are so amazing is because they had such great parents! I am extremely lucky to have the influence of two amazing Grandmas in my life. They are some of the most generous people I have ever met in my life. They both make me laugh really hard. They've made my life so much better over and over again! I'm truly blessed to be a part of this family!
