I was brought up in a certain lifestyle. and there's nothing about it I wouldn't change...
You could say that I'm extremely grateful for it. Extremely.
My parents did it right. I'm proud to be raised by a couple of crazy kids. They were the original hipsters.
They've taught me so much. I, of course, would not be the person I am today without their guidance.
My skill of quoting b&w movies on a daily basis goes to them. I grew up watching a classic every evening.
Kansas, Chicago, The Carpenters, and America are the best bands in history. Hands down.
They taught me that you don't have to constantly have an electronic in your face... because the art of a good conversation is rapidly dying in this generation. Our Sundays consisted of the whole family in one room sitting and talking about whatever. And those memories are the best.
When it comes to work... my parents told me that you won't get anywhere in life if you don't know how to work. Truest advice. You work and you work your butt off.
And greatest of all, they taught me to love God with all my heart. To trust Him in every situation. I can't ever thank them enough for guiding me and being such amazing examples.
They're my role models.
They got married young, just like Jonathan and I. They learned to be strong and depend on each other. They told me that there is times when it's not the easiest, but you have to just keep going. Work through your problems together. Work, laugh, love, and keep Jesus at the center.
To me... that's just WOW. Just a huge inspiration.
I hope/pray that my marriage and lifestyle can be everything that I've seen in theirs. They're the strongest punks I know.
Thanks for everything you did/are doing for me. I love you all more than anything... you made me who I am today.
