DEAR READERS:

After Dan and I had decided we were going to Washington, DC for a weekend, I knew that I wanted some unique way to tell the story of being back in one of my favorite cities. So, I came up with this writing assignment to challenge myself to see if I could write the story, fix it up and finish the entire project (writing with photos/video) under a small week long deadline.

Starting out on the trip, I still had no idea how I was going to write the story – let alone, what it was going to be about. I still had no idea what I was going to do until we were at a certain museum on Saturday, then it donned on me.

That moment was a perfect “Ah-hah. I know how I’m going to write this story and display it.” I felt as if it were one of those meant to be, we’re supposed to be here at this exact moment, because, if we weren’t, I wouldn’t have had a story.

This entirety of it - starting with the first blog entry to the very last one, is chocked full of some of the deepest feelings, statements, memories and references to how I think and how you may possibly actually begin to understand me. And, even after reading this, I can guarantee that you still won’t be able to understand me! Ha!

I do hope everyone enjoys reading this as much as I did living it and then documenting it in such a way I’ll never forget. Enjoy the photos and videos, I had fun taking those, as well. This entire project is 100% written with truth – welcome to me.

If you have anything to say, please comment the entries.

Thanks for reading!
