Hellobee Boards

The mose inspiring/positive people in my life are you HB girls (and guys to @MrBee). I find this place is my zen place to vent, ask questions and learn about how to be a good mom, wife and citizen. I often set myself to a higher standard based on what I learn here.

Both my parents. I know I am biased but they are the most amazing people to me. So generous, loving and perfect! A couple years ago I was going through a lot of rough stuff. Stuff that two highly religious people would be tempted to just let me handle it on my own. Never did I feel judged or any less of a person. They helped me through it and I never felt like the worst of the kids. My dad is in a leadership position in our church and he is so selfless, always taking care of the neighborhood and everyone in it. He also owns his own business and I have never met a harder worker. My parents have the most amazing relationship, I have never heard them say a mean word to eachother and they have never been in a fight. They always take time for themselves, and have weekly dates and lunch dates. So cute! Anyways I am so blessed to have 2 amazing examples in my life!!!!

The person that has been particularly inspiring to me over the past 2-3 years recently passed away. She and her husband led our newlywed small group. While fighting a very hard battle with cancer, she was amazing at loving her husband and three children sacrificially and fiercely. She taught me so many things, and I hope that I can one day be half the wife, mother, and friend that she was.

I have been thinking about this recently and have come to the conclusion that for me, this person is actually my step-father. I honestly had a hard time wrapping my head around that because I just kept thinking that it should be my mom or my dad. But my step-dad is an amazing person - generous, compassionate, welcoming, and hard-working.

My dad. He is a perfect example for jack of all trades. He's brilliant academically and on all topics. He can fix everything. Need a new electrical outlet installed - check, need a new computer built - check, need to change your timing belt - check, need help reconciling your T chart accounts - check, need help with your VB programming homework - check. The list goes on infinitely. He's the first person the hubby and I call when we run into a problem. Google is #2.
