HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD

This is my very favorite photo of my parents on their wedding day...it was as they were leaving and it was raining. So happy!

45 Years ago on August 20 at HIGH NOON, two of the best people in the world were married at Rockland Community Church overlooking the Continental Divide. Many years later, their oldest daughter was also married there...on July 18, 1992 at HIGH NOON. I love being able to look back at these photos and see them with the people they loved celebrating this special day. The church, to this day, looks similar and I can just imagine how they were on that late summer day in 1966.

One of my most favorite things in the world is meeting my dad (and mom) for coffee and a chat. Today, we met at Starbucks on Santa Fe so I could borrow his copy of Huckleberry Finn for Chris to read for his English class. We sat in the leather chairs and spent some time talking about the rewrites on his book, publicity options and family analysis...all good discussions and more than anything, just fun and easy. Very very blessed to have both of my parents as my best friends. What makes me smile is that I pulled out my camera for this photo and he knew exactly how to "pose" for the perfect photo op :)

Camping trip #1 of the year is now in the books...Buffalo Peaks...campfires...cold nights...hanging out...awesome breakfast...wolves howling in the distance...Nick didn't bring a sweatshirt, thus quite chilly...worst part: putting up the tents...best part: being there...

PROJECT 365 PICTURE OF THE DAY 6/15/11

In honor of Father's Day weekend this Sunday, I added this photo to my Facebook profile and my photo of the day for today. When looking through childhood photos, there was never a doubt in my mind from the very beginning that I wasn't loved by my dad, mom and family. I'm not sure everyone has that opportunity and that is just something I am so blessed to have. This reflection photo makes me smile (just about like the smile I have in that photo). Thanks, dad, for the unconditional love, support, laughs, and even tears you have always given me...and that "you're a sweetheart." :)
