Parkay's Place, the name of my blog will be understood by many and confusing to many more. My name all my life until I got married was Emily Parker. Yep, maiden name is Parker. I love that name! I'm so glad it lives on in my nicknames which will never go away. I thought a lot about names of blogs for quite awhile. It always came back to Parkay. I LOVE the nickname and it's been with me for a long time. (I would tell you how long but that would date me and I wouldn't want to do that! Ha!)
So here's the story:
My childhood friend Tina (who is still a friend), started calling me Parkay Butter sometime around the beginning of 7th grade and that was that. All through middle school and into high-school I was Parkay Butter. Sometime in high-school is was shortened to just Parkay and it's been that way ever since. As I sit here typing this, I cannot recall a time being called Emily by her since middle school. We both attended BYU and lived in the same apartment complex and still I was Parkay. She would and still does introduce me as Parkay to people. When I met her boyfriend (now husband), she introduced me as Parkay. In fact, I don't believe he has ever called me Emily.
