This past couple of weeks has been the most wonderful gift from two amazing people...my parents. If anyone could be so blessed as my sisters and I are to have parents like ours, I am so happy for them. Mom and Dad are the most generous people I have ever encountered. They give of their self-made money, their patience, love, and time. I am so, so lucky to have them. My daughters are so lucky to have them as well--they teach them so much. After all the hard work they put in making my backyard dream come true, they still left me with compliments instead of asking for thanks, telling me I'm a great mother and a good person, but I wouldn't be any of those things if I had not had them guide the way. I truly love you and thank you, Mom and Dad, for everything you have helped me realize as I grow, and specifically for the massive amount of work you both did here. Love you all! Please come and visit me so we can have S'mores over the firepit and listen to Louie howl in his dog run :)
