Fankful Fridays

I'm fudging a bit because I never got around to posting yesterday on Thankful Thursday.  So, instead, I give you Fankful Fridays. (What can I say? I'm a fan of alliteration.)

Today I'm thankful:
For Taylor B.'s wedding.
Last weekend I got to attend the most beautiful wedding of my life in the company of some of the most beautiful people in my life.  Seriously. Congratulations, Taylor and Richard! Here are a few pics of these beautiful people. Taylor, the bride, is on the far left. I wish you could see her full dress. it was gorgeous.

For awesome jumping pictures. 

The wedding was in a picturesque location in a valley surrounded by mountains. The perfect location for jump pictures. Here are a few of the best.

That my dad came through knee surgery a-ok.

Surgery is hard on the patient no matter what type it is. And while Dad is still in pain, he is on the road to recovery and is only a little bit ornery. But that's just because he's a wee bit bored. 

That I have a flexible enough job that I could take time off this week to help out my parents.

I'm so glad I could be here to help Dad with his physical therapy and do things around the house. He wouldn't let me take a picture of his wicked awesome scar (sad, I know) to show you, so I'm leaving you with this self portrait of my parents from last summer.

For my dad's back yard.  
While I've been here, I've been enjoying the paradise that is my dad's perfectly landscaped  backyard.  This picture doesn't do it justice. He's got to spend a lot of time on it, you can tell by looking at it. I know it's going to kill him to not be able to work in it while his knee recovers, so I've been doing some odd jobs out there to try and keep it up.


























That my office took Winthrop's FB page to 10,000 likes.
I don't really contribute to this page, but my co-workers do an awesome job of posting important news, pictures and updates for all of Winthrop's fans. I'm proud they made it to such a round-numbered milestone.

For John, who worked on my bike and taught me basic bike maintenance.

I'm so thankful for him, I even sent him a thank you card.  I've been out on the road with confidence this week, and I think I could really become a fan of cycling.  It's hard work in this hilly city, but the downhills are awesome.  

 That's my week. What are you fankful for this Friday?
