I love mornings like this. Seriously, is there a better way to start off the day? I don’t think so. Theres something about a beautiful spring morning that makes you feel so good. Even when you’re stuck in traffic and really don’t want to go to work, how could you be upset when you’re looking at this amazingness?

Happy St. Patrick’s Day to all my irish and non-irish friends 🙂

abpindc, washingtonian, welcome guide, magazine, cover

I am sooo completely honored and blown away that my image is on the cover of the WASHINGTONIAN!!! *Happy Dance* It came to a complete shock when I received the email and I couldn’t be more excited.

So, I wanted to share the love. I’ll be giving away 24×16″ prints to a randomly selected winner on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Feel free to enter in all three social media platforms, I’ll select a winner from each. That means there are 3 chances to win 🙂 All I ask is that you take a selfie with the magazine and hashtag it #ABPinDC and #Washingtonian. That’s it! I want to see all your beautiful faces.

Contest ends and I’ll announce the 3 winners on April 6th. Questions? Feel free to comment below

I’ve never taken the time out to read what was on top of Lincoln’s head. I always knew there was some writing there, but I don’t I ever cared too much to read it.

Today was different. I was trying to find unique angles and wound up getting closer and closer to the Mr Lincoln. I loved how the memorial is called a temple. Somewhere for people to really reflect and appreciate on what he has done for our country. No better way to honor a great man than to build a massive memorial dedicated to him.

Everytime I visit this memorial (which isn’t very often), I always think about Andrew and I’s engagement. We didn’t get engaged here, but we our good friend, Nat took our engagement pictures here. It’s such a beautiful memorial. When I was younger and we’d drive by it, I always thought it looked like a nice place to get married. You’re surrounded by trees and the beautiful memorial. Very little people visit here so it’d be perfect for a small wedding. I’m not sure if thats possible but it would be nice.

Funny, next week is Andrew and I’s 9 year dating anniversary. I can’t believe it’s been 9 years. Time just flies by. And I wouldn’t want to be flying with anyone else but him <3
