Ahh I am so excited to share this FUN friend session with you today! As many of you know, I also teach barre for a company called FlyWheel Sports! A few months ago, we had a fun themed pulse with a giveaway, prosecco and all of the pop music that I could squeeze into a 45 minute chunk of time. The giveaway? A 30 minute session on the steps of our nation’s Capitol! Sweet Anna was in class that day, and she ended up winning the session!

I looked at my calendar this week and realized that, as of this Saturday, I have officially called Washington, DC home for TWO years now! WOW time flies! Last year, I shared a letter to myself. I shared the words that I would have told the girl getting off the plane, fresh out of college with a dream and not a whole lot of plans. I reread this post this week, and I cried like a baby. It was a bit embarrassing… thankfully, I was alone in my apartment. Goodness… how so many things have changed and how so many things have stayed exactly the same.

I can’t help but to get emotional when someone invites me to be part of their wedding day… It is truly an honor to walk alongside my couples during one of the most memorable days of their life, and is something I take on with so much joy and excitement. Now… I usually tear up during most wedding days, but I found myself misty-eyed behind the camera a little more than usual during this one!
