Becca + Taylor

My pastor and his wife are probably two of the coolest people I've met. They're filled with the love of the Lord, magnetic, compassionate, patient, insanely goofy, and always a blast to be around. Also they were so loving and playful in this amazing session. I'm no wordsmith, so I'll let the images do to talking.

Washington

For Thanksgiving 2017, my buddies and I chose to spend a week together in our nation's capital. It only took about a trillion "Have you bought your flight yet?" texts before we were all united together again for the first time in almost a year. After lots of catching up (which according to Andrew is "like binge watching a show on Netflix, only better because it's real") we got to experience the city where our political system operates -- along with trying to find an open restaurant last minute on Turkey Day, playing House of Cards (that might've been just me...in my head), and walking around a city that has more history packed into in that you could imagine. It was a bit chilly, but I'm proud of how well I handled it as weak Southern California native. Also I saw legitimately the largest rat I think anyone has ever seen.

Ever.

All in all, it was a solid 11/10.

Joshua Tree

For a long time I've heard about how people say the desert in enchanting. Amid the blazing heat, arid conditions, and distance from "civilization", there's truly something special about it. Plants fighting for survival, critters living in the shade of tower rocks, and zero cell service show you that even when you think nothing is happening, something really is. I guess I'm slowly getting why God had the Israelites wandering the desert for 40 years.

And yeah, I'm already scheming on the soonest I can get back to exploring this awesome place.
