Friends

I have been blessed with wonderful friends.  I have friends from my toddler days who are very dear to me.  I have friends from elementary, middle, and high school I still visit as often as I can.  I have friends from Utah State and Texas A&M days with whom I love to reminisce.  I have made some lasting friendships working all over the country with the National Park Service.

 

I am blessed.

 

After finishing my season in Death Valley, I met up with old roommates from Utah State days in Salt Lake.  We had lunch at a very lovely place in downtown.  Melissa, her two girls, Tarrin, and Kristen.

We walked a bit around Temple Square and enjoyed the spring flowers. 

 In Houston, I met with friends I have known longer than I can remember: Kathryn, Jenn, and Amber.

Thanks to Kristen and Amber for sharing their pictures with me!

I realize these pictures represent only a fraction of the individuals who are so dear to me but those not pictured are no less important.
