I'll always love Landon for the way he has encouraged me in getting my degree. We met my second semester here, so it has been a team effort for sure. A lot of people are against getting married in school (and I used to be one of them), but being married to Landon through school has been such a blessing. Having him to rely on when I'm sick, having him bring me things from home I've forgotten, and having him there cheer me on at choir events or ad competitions has made all the difference-not to mention just being awesome. I'm grateful for the blessing of my education, for the things I learned that have helped me grow, and I'm grateful for the man who helped make it possible. (He only has a year left for his bachelors and then it's grad school time)!

I'm grateful for my parents who made me believe I could do anything. They are the most incredible people (Even those who aren't related to them agree). If I had a nickel for every time I had someone say, "I wish my dad was more nice/sweet/thoughtful/kind like yours" or "I wish I could talk/laugh/hang with my mom like you do with yours." I've heard it my whole life, and I'll forever love them for being the perfect example of what parents should be.
