Running around on this chilly morning with A + V was well worth the early wake up call and the cold!

A + V went to the University of Tennessee Knoxville (go vols!) along with a good friend of mine E who I also met at UTK. After graduating A + V moved out to Los Angeles and E moved on up to NYC, but we still stayed in touch.

When she found out I was going to be out in southern California she hooked me up with A + V! I couldn’t be more thankful for friends that introduce me to their friends.

Joshua Tree National Park in the early morning is quiet and oh so calm. There is something about being out in the desert that early when no one else is.
