Mom and Dad

Today is my parents' 36th anniversary! Anyone who knows me knows that I am slightly obsessed with my family; they are probably my favorite group of people in the world and I never get tired of laughing with them. My parents are absolutely amazing-- my mom(Debra) is the sweetest, most caring and gentle person I've ever met, she is a walking-talking personification of unconditional love. My dad (Rex) is completely devoted to his family and works his tail off to take care of us; he's also incredibly goofy and I LOVE watching him make my baby niece laugh.

I have been blessed with incredible parents, so I just wanted to acknowledge them on their anniversary!


**(I discovered this yesterday) If you click on any image in my blog it will open up a much bigger version, which is quite handy for making the teeny tiny collages better for viewing! (I'm learning so many new things with this whole blogging thing...)
***We took these pictures of my parents out in our backyard the other day, but unfortunately I was trying some new settings on my camera so quite a few of the pictures didn't come out quite how I want them. These are some that worked, and my parents are precious in them but I see quite a few backyard shoots in the future as I learn more :)

Your mom thinks we look old...I guess she hasn't checked my birth certificate lately.
You are one of the most faithful, sensitive and talented daughters anyone could ever be graced with. Your beauty truely runs very, very deep. Thank you so much for this wonderful gift!

I don't think mom and dad look old at all - I think they are beautiful.

Great job, Jess. I LOVE the pic behind the plate and I love the closeups of mom and dad individually.

Love you!
Jen

About Me

I'm 22. I'm a girl. I just graduated from Texas A&M. I hate (and am allergic to) peanut butter. I like taking pictures. I watch too many movies. I hoard music and take great pleasure in finding new artists. I get annoyed with work because it doesn't allow me enough time to read for pleasure. I have a love/hate relationship with exercise, depending entirely on the time of day. I love movies based on comic books. I get really freaked out by E.T. I'm a big, big fan of food. I think anything remotely related with Aaron Sorkin is genius. I can't stand pro football. I have an unhealthy obsession with fall and Christmas. I love, love, love laughing with my family. I try to be a good follower of Christ and I falter a lot, but the beauty of Him is that I don't have to save myself.
