I know life has not always been easy for us. I know we do not always get along. I know I mess up, a lot. I know we fight; we don't talk sometimes; we scream; we hang up the phone on each other. But, the biggest thing I know is that I love you, and I always will.

So, I am writing this for the both of you. To show you how much you mean to me. And I know it is still not enough. There are no words great enough to express my thankfulness and love for you two. But, here is my attempt to put it into words:

Thank you for always being someone I can call when I need to talk

Whether I just need to cry or just want to tell you about my day, I know you two are just a call away.

Thank you for making my childhood fun

From trying to go camping once a month, family games and meals, and tons of church activities, there was always an adventure awaiting. I had such an amazing childhood and I so thankful I got to spend it with you two.

Thank you for supporting my crazy ideas

From starting up my own charity foundation in 8th grade to all of the other crafts I did, there were a ton of crazy ideas growing up... and don't worry I still have them! Although you may have been a little skeptical at first (only because you didn't want to see me get hurt) you both always gave your full support. It means the world to me!

Thank you for teaching me

I will admit I still am scared to jump a car, but at least I know how to! Thank you for teaching me all of the necessary tools for life and for still doing it for me when I am too scared.

Thank you for accepting me for who I am

I know it is not always easy... and sometimes it may be what causes out fights... but I know you will both drop everything for me. You are both always there for me whenever I need you. You love me, and you are proud of me for who I am and who I will become.

Thank you for being role models

You both have always been two people I looked up to, whether you knew it or not. So frequently I see the good things you both do to help others (at church, work, etc.) and I realize I want to be just like you.

Thank you for giving me life

Not only legit "giving me life", but I mean thank you for inspiring me, giving me ideas, giving me the power and strength to go on. Like I said at the beginning, life has not always been the easiest for us. But, you two have given me the strength to live my life and help others with it.

Thank you for loving me unconditionally

This one can go without an explanation. But, there is just one final thing:

I love you.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer.

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
