thanks mom & dad.

my mom and dad are always encouraging (nagging) me to keep a food storage. so about a year ago i went to walmart and picked up a flimsy 4 tear plastic shelf. it was sad... it held near nothing. so- when my dad came into town, and i heard he was building justin some storage shelves, i told him about my storage isssues. he took a look at my coat closet and wrote down some measurements... but we never decided on anything. the next morning mom and dad showed up bright and early with new storage shelves.. already built. my dad is the best.. he went to lowes as soon as they opened- got all the supplies, built it at justins house- loaded it up in the car and hauled it over. i was so excited!
my dad cares so much about us kids- and he is always so good at showing us.
the next day my mom and dad were leaving- when they came over to say goodbye... i noticed them unloaded a car full of grocery bags- they had a TON of food/house supplies (all my favorites) for me to fill up my new shelves!
it's those kinds of things that mean the most.
thanks mom and dad. i think you guys are the greatest- near or far.
