After a SUPER long but exciting weekend, I was tired. Specifically tired of driving. So Monday rolled around and I wasn’t thrilled about the thought of driving 2 hours to DC for the Showit’s Free to be Me Tour. If you know me at all, you would know that that is not me. I’m normally thrilled to get together with people, especially photographers!!
So I was doing great. I had made it off the interstate and then that’s when my Garmin decided to forget how to work. It froze and I had to figure out where Street F was! Wouldn’t you think it would be in between Street E and G?! Yea, well DC’s roads are by far the most confusing roads ever! It’s a miracle I made it to the Ebenezar’s Coffee Shop right behind Union Station. If you haven’t heard the story behind Ebenezar’s, check out their website! So coool and such an awesome place!
After I finally found parking and the massive thunderstorm rolled in, I made it inside. My attitude changed completely! It was like I remembered…. “Aw I do love people!” and “Yes! This drive was worth it!!” I LOVED and I mean LOVEDDD getting to know new friends and meeting some blog readers (What?! I have blog readers?!) and hanging out with some old friends. Photographer’s are just wonderful! So welcoming and fun and quirky. And when I say quirky, I mean that in the nicest way! I’m quirky… I remembered my chewing gum that I bought before the show but not my notebook to actually TAKE NOTES from the speakers! I’m a mess!
Anyway, I’ll get on to the pictures! (I haven’t blogged much recently and so I feel like I’m just rambling on and on!)
The talented Molly Jenson was our musical guest for the evening and she was great! Such a nice addition to the tour!
We heard from the Boudoir Divas, David Jay and last but not least, the super talented Promise Tangeman!
Awww friends!! Michelle, Julie, Me, Courtney!
Isn’t she cute! You should hear her awesome British accent! Such a sweet girl! Check out Kristin’s blog! 
Rebekah! Just love her and this was only our second time getting to hangout! It looks like I’m squeezing her to death…I wasn’t… I don’t think.
Happy Tuesday!
Thanks for reading!
