panthera pardus orientalis

Wow, it's been a while. Summer's almost over (meaning that I go back to school full-time, as Eric never really had a break) and I'm sort of glad about that. All I've been doing is working and it gets kinda boring not doing anything else. Plus, I'm graduating in December and kind of just want to get this all over with.

We had the chance to go up to Portland last week for Lindsay and Mark's wedding. We had such a good time up there, and the wedding was -in my mind anyway - pretty much perfect (although, there could have been tons of things I wasn't aware of). The reception was beautiful, Lindsay and Mark looked so happy, and the ceremony itself was wonderful. I couldn't see Lindsay's face during the ceremony, but I could see Mark's, and if Lindsay looked anything like that then she probably looked like the happiest girl alive at that point. And she probably was anyway. Haha. We had a really good time up there. Of course, I barely took any pictures of anything, but I'm sure Lindsay will post some so that anyone who cares can look and see how everything was. But it was all beautiful.

On Saturday, the day after the wedding, our flight was scheduled to leave around 4 pm for Salt Lake. So we decided to spend the morning at the Oregon Zoo! I know, typical of me, right? We had a really fun time, and I did manage to take tons of pictures there. Apparently we see where my priorities lie...anyway, we had a really fun time up there and can't wait for another chance to go back to Portland.

enjoying the zoo - it was a nice cool day

eric has the wingspan of a bald eagle.

this leopard shared a tie for my favorite animal at the zoo along with the tigers and the ocelot. i love me some big cats with pretty fur coats.

cool! I like the kitties, too. So does Nathan. He wanted me to tell you to tell the kitties "meow" but I explained you'd already left. He bore the disappointment well. He's already moved on.
