We have been so blessed with an incredible group of friends here in DC. When we moved here almost three years ago we were overwhelmed with the idea of ‘starting over’. I had moved to new states quite a few times over the ten years prior to living in DC so I knew that making friends, getting plugged into community, and finding your way around a new city takes a lot of time and effort. I do not take community for granted and am continuously amazed by these DC friends of mine.
A couple of weeks ago our friend Jenny turned thirty. I watched her husband rally friends together, another friend offer her apartment, another cook, another decorate, another prepare dessert, etc. We enjoyed a beautiful evening under lights that made you feel as if it was almost summer and celebrated Jenny’s life together. I loved listening to Jenny’s friends, old and new, tell stories about her and just celebrate the friend she is to them. They inspire me to be a better friend. Isn’t friendship beautiful?
Hi Erica, yes friendship is truly beautiful, and your photos are very spectacular! These shots look like photo strips from a movie. What a beautiful capture of your friend’s birthday celebration.
Thank you Marisol! You are the sweetest!
