Day 3 of Penny

Well, I don't have any digital pictures of my parents together. I just don't. Every time I try to take one with my mom in it, it doesn't work out. I have plenty of pictures of my parents that if I had a scanner, they'd be on here. I'll try to describe my favorite one to you.

After dating for nearly three weeks, my parents got married sometime around Labor Day Weekend 1976. They don't exactly remember the date either, so they just celebrate on Labor Day. They eloped, and were married at the Court House in St. George, UT--not really by plan, but they were headed to California and wanted to be at Disneyland in the morning. St. George ended up being a good stopping point I guess.

My favorite picture of them is where they are both sitting in front of the Tea Cup Ride. Dad (who looks an awful lot like Seth) is wearing a big black cowboy hat with a hawk feather in it, aviators, a white t-shirt and a new crisp pair of Levi's. Mom is wearing a cute yellow blouse, Levis, and boots. They look a little tired, but really happy. The colors are a little washed out now, and it was taken with one of those cameras that takes a square format with rounded edges. It's quite a treasure.

In the 30 years I've been on this earth, my family has been dirt poor, highly successful and everything in between. Always, we've stuck together. My folks are exactly what I needed, I can't really even explain that I guess. I love them very much.
