Day Three

Yes, I know its technically November 1st, but its been a busy day. Here's my update for Halloween:

DAY THREE: YOUR PARENTS

There is no doubt in my mind (and hasn't been for a long time) that I have the greatest parents on earth. I have been friends with so many people who have things so much harder than I do, and its all about my parents giving me the tools to succeed without doing things for me. I have always had a lot of freedom and trust from my parents. I always had a curfew, but it was generally late and could always be adjusted depending on the event. I was the first born and was the experiment, but my parents always gave me freedom to make decisions and choices myself, even if they were bad ones. I never really realized this until about a year or so ago, but my parents have influenced my life so much and I see them coming through myself all the time. When I went to college I think my relationship with them grew even more despite the fact that I had moves so far away. They were no helicopter parents at all, I spoke with my mom on the phone every few days just to keep tabs on our lives, and things only got better. They are always there for me whenever I need them to be and are supportive of the choices I make, even if they are a little ambitious at times. My Mom braved a 15 hour journey in a 92 Jeep with the windows down the whole way to help move me out here in the first place, if thats not love I don't know what is. My parents rock, plain and simple. 

Lots of blogging to come this week. Lots to write about.
