The Famous PD Weekend...

I was reluctant to write a blog about my Palm Desert Trip a couple weekends ago, number one because I was sick the whole weekend and still felt too fuzzy to make any sense by the time I got home, and number two everyone that went wrote these incredible accounts of the trip that are impossible to top. Not that I need to top them…they just wrote them so well!

But alas, Katie gave me the death look yesterday for not updating my blog and so I must write something even if it is out of fear for my life.

So without further ado:

I went on excursion to Palm Desert with Katie and four other awesome and talented women for a weekend of photo fun and otherwise havoc reeking on the citizens of Palm Dessert.

Here are a few of my memorable highlights:

• Arriving in PD with Katie and meeting Susan and Leah for drinks, or a drink that was actually named after Susan.
• Being a snotty, eye-watering, coughing, sneezing mess all weekend.
• Going to TWO art museums, which I LOVE doing but never make the time for.
• Convincing Aaryn and Katie to do a “running from the camera” shot of us jumping through a thousands of dollars art piece, and not getting in trouble even though we were on camera the whole time and did it more than once...
• Miles of Collagen filled lips and BMW’s
• Getting to know Aaryn and her amazing Photo SKILLZ, love for her adorable daughter, sense of adventure and last but not least, her equipment (photo equipment that is….see here)
• Getting to know Jessica and her incredible ability to look good in all hats and ALL pictures (even ones that she looks eerily similar to manikins), her zest for life, and her sweet, sweet demeanor.
• Getting to know Leah and all her artsy craftiness that inspires me to actually do something crafty sooner rather than later and her strong Character that has carried her through life. AND being on the receiving end of not one but TWO of her one of a kind, amazingshecancrochetethatfast hats. Yes, be jealous. Her Photo's here.
  
• Getting to know Susan, her hospitality, bravery for taking us girls out on the town and willing to show her face in that town again, her mad cooking skills and her genuine friendship to us all.
• Getting a reminder as to why Katie is a remarkable friend and amazingly talented woman from her photography to her witty writing and everything in between.

Thanks again Susan for such a wonderful weekend. Sorry it took so long for me to actually write this out girls!
