To My Parents on Their Anniversary

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

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
