In a flash.

I have had the misfortune this week to have a dear childhood friend suffer a severe accident. At times like these, words can seem so fruitless and without consolation, but nonetheless, we try to articulate our deepest sympathies and condolences. Her name is Melissa Petersen and we are all thinking of her, and hoping she pulls through. So, in a time when words seem to cling to hope, we send our most positive thoughts to her and her family.

wedding things and anniversaries

mr. parks and i are closing in on our three year anniversary!  i may have mentioned this before, but it’s weird how you just start over counting the years together once you get married.  there should be some other way of describing our time together, like if you’ve been married for four years and were together for three before that, you say you’ve been together for four dash three or something.  sorry, stupid thought…

anyway, the wedding planning is going ok (i think) – our wedding coordinator will tell us for sure on wednesday.  i’ve been so proyd of us for setting a date that i felt like we could take a couple of weeks off.  apparently you’re never “off.”  there is always a ton of stuff to do.  i’ve started writing in the bride’s diary that mr. parks’ family gave me.  it’s going to be so fun to look back on it one day!  just like our blog – it’s incredible to scroll through the posts and pictures, and to see all that we have done together since the time that we started it – about a year and a half ago.  this is better than any scrapbook (especially considering that we would never make a scrapbook, as much as we’d like to).

ok – i’m going to go.  i’m at work and just wanted to write a quick little update.  speaking of work, i love it and i love working with my dad!  my first time on a private jet wasn’t so bad, either!! 

oh yeah – we’re going to chicago this weekend to see the band travis!!!  it’s going to be amazing – we’ll do our review when we get back!! 

The Works.

Things crop up when you least expect it. it has been said that sorrows come not in single spies, but in battalions…it seems so does good fortune. Things couldn’t be better at the moment. It seems we ordered life with the works…get it…it’s a pun – because we live at the Buggyworks…that means i’m a good writer – jk.  Here are some pics of moving into our new home!
