Grandparents

I always have thought my parents were great. Of course they are not perfect... but when it comes to how I was raised... I think my parents did a great job. No complaints. Especially when I hear of other's upbringing.... mine was golden and I feel lucky. I have always enjoyed spending time with my parents. I wasn't dying to move out of the house as soon as I graduated from high school because I liked living at home. In fact, I stayed living at home for my first two years of college. I never went through a phase in Jr High or High School where I thought my parents were un-cool. In fact... I felt pretty cool when I had my dad around me while I was in High School.

Although I have always thought my parents were awesome, I have really enjoyed watching them be Grandparents. I love and respect them even more seeing the kind of Grandparents they are. I love how they are with all of their grand kids and I love to see how much each of the 9 grand kids love their Grandma and Grandpa (and Grandma Great). I'm sure that love will grow when I have my own kids and get to see them as grandchildren to my parents. I can't wait for that day. I am truly blessed with an amazing family and I am SO thankful for that.
