As my parents celebrate their 25th anniversary this week, I just wanted to thank them for showing me what love is.

After 25 years, they still dance in the kitchen.

After 25 years, they still laugh together.

After 25 years, they still pray together.

After 25 years, they still always remember each other’s birthdays and of course their anniversary.

After 25 years, there are still each other’s favorite chocolate awaiting each other on Valentine’s Day.

After 25 years, there are two pretty awesome children and two beautiful, incredible grandchildren.

After 25 years, there are so many people who love you and look up to you for the people you are and for the couple you are.

We don’t tell you enough, but you guys ROCK. Y’all literally make our worlds go around and we sure do love you both. I am so very thankful for that wonderful day in April so many years ago.

One day, I hope I can find someone to love me like you love each other.

I hope to find someone who looks at me the way Daddy looks at you, Mama. Someone who grills some mean burgers and loves to do it. Someone who washes the clothes or the dishes just to help out.

I hope to find someone I can plan vacations with and make cookies with pecans for just because he likes them. Someone who isn’t afraid to try new things because he enjoys them.

I hope to find a selfless love like yours.

I hope one day my kids can look up to me and my husband the way I look up to y’all.

Happy 25th, ‘rents. We love you

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

Sleepovers are not a thing. They're just not.

1. You only ask things once.

2. Seriously, you only ask once.

3. When you do muster up the courage to ask your parents for something, you creep around and wait until they’re in a good mood.

4. Before you get that final yes, you have to go through an interview.

5. If you ever got “the eye,” you knew you were screwed.

6. You were always the first to leave your group of friends when hanging out.

7. If you say you will be home at a certain time, you better be home at that time.

8. Seeing a missed call from your parents sends fear and horror through your veins.

9. If relatives are coming over to the house, your room better be clean.

10. You are careful about what jokes you share with your parents.

11. "You’re not an adult until you turn 18! You can do whatever you want then!"

12. If plans change while you’re out, you better text or call.

13. Don’t talk back. Ever.

14. When you’re called by your full name, you’re in deep trouble.

15. Don’t make them call your name twice.

16. Sleepovers are not a thing.

17. Despite all of these things, you know your parents love you.

No, really. I'm not mad. Just hungry.

1. You’re tired of people asking you if you know what “RBF” stands for every time you zone out.

2. You’re constantly using the excuse, “I’m just tired” when people ask you if you’re mad.

3. Or “I’m just thinking.”

4. In fact, you’re rarely ever actually mad.

5. But when you are, people usually can’t tell.

6. You find other people with RBF’s and have to convince yourself that you don’t look like them.

7. You constantly remind yourself, “At least I’m not a psycho.”
