Between my past few visits to California and my family coming up to visit this past Christmas, I made it a point to write down some of the small favors that my parents have done {without saying a word} for those in the family.
+ Dad setting the Tapatio sauce out on the table for Ryan before he eats and realizes that it was pulled out just for him
+ Mom doing the dishes, organizing the whole kitchen, and doing all my laundry while I'm at work
+ Driving 10 hours to bring Christmas to us because of my crazy work schedule
+ My mom & dad are always good about calling to check up on me & Ryan, and they are always there for us when we call
+ Dad giving advice on how to one day be a good parent: Realize that every child is different and they need different kinds of attention to feel loved.
+ After my skin cancer surgery a couple years ago, the whole family hopped in wherever they could and helped to keep me positive
+ Mom staying up with me till 2 in the morning just to talk & giving me awesome advice on how to navigate life's problems

+ Mom staying up with me till 2 in the morning just to talk & giving me awesome advice on how to navigate life's problems
+ Both parents calling & checking up on me when my car is dead on the side of the road
+ They hop in to help with a problem with no complaint
Example: wiping snow off cars, shoveling snow, helping us move from Orem to Provo
+ Dad making a full-on meat & potatoes dinner for when Ryan & I come home after a long day
+ Dad volunteering to sleep on the couch downstairs to wake up with Jesse in the middle of the night {after Jesse's knee surgery} to keep him taking his medicine and helping him to the bathroom even though he has work early the next morning.
It's really the small things that matter, huh?
