Happy 31 years mom and dad

Happy 31 Anniversary
Mom and Dad.
It's my parents anniversary today and they now have been married for 31 years. My mom is a convert to the church who lived in new york all her life (until she came out to utah to go to cosmetology school at 19) and my dad was a church nerd from utah so the concept of how they managed to meet and then get married is amazing really to say the least. Not that they aren't perfect for each other because they are. It's just amazing to me that they lived at opposite ends of the country and managed to meet each other at all, but they did and i'm so grateful for that. My parents are so amazing to me and i look up to them in so many ways. They are the perfect example for anyone to look up to. My mom is so compassionate and the people in her life are so important to her especially her family and there is never a day goes by that you cant tell that she loves you. She has been not only my mom but she is also one of my best friends. I can go to her for anything. she is an amazing listener and friend to anyone! Her example of how to be an amazing mom and wife encourages me to be better on a daily basis. Her testimony of the gospel is evident in everything she does. My dad is the only way to put it a "saint" he will do anything for anyone, even if he doesn't have time to. He is devoted to the gospel and his callings and always has been. He never complains about anything and i have never seen him mad. He is always staying busy (trying to get him to sit still for 5 minutes at a time is somewhat impossible actually). His Family and the Lord are his most important priorities and he devotes himself to them completely! He is hilarious, and bit of a goofball (in a good way no one would have him any other way). I'm so grateful i have both of them in my life and for everything they are for me and everyone in my family. Happy anniversary mom and dad I love you guys very much and thanks for all you are and have done for me and all of us!
