Eleven

It started as an unassuming group movie date in 1998 and turned into 11 years of marriage today. Happy Anniversary to my favorite man in a sherpa hat.

Insta-August

The first three weeks of August can be summed up in 16 photos. The last week needs its own post (which will be following soon) because it was just too amazing to not get its own post. The pics above, all posted to my Instagram account (@stephparke) show my last two field trips for the US Forest Service - to Mirror Lake Highway here in Utah and to Island Park, Idaho, a smoky day up at our family cabin, a few of my out-of-control zinnias from the front yard, and some of the bounty from my dad's garden. It was a fun but busy month with some great camping, and friend time.
