I'd like to start this 2020 year review with a fitting logo.
The first two months were by far some of the most memorable, but March hit and 2020 would be a year WE ALL REMEMBER.
January started with coming home from Oregon and getting SUPER sick... *cough cough*
I kept telling my parents that it wasn't a cough that I had experienced before and it felt different then when I had been sick with a cough in previous years.
And looking back on fb posts... I'm just gonna leave this here.
The middle of January, I headed to Nashville with Lensbaby to work a trade show. Tommy and I had so much fun later that week I had been asked to represent Lensbaby in Kentucky, by myself, for a second trade show. It had finally felt like I was doing what I wanted to be and I was so proud to be able to say they wanted me to be there.
At the end of January, I loaded up and headed to Phoenix for the first dance photography conference, Pas de Deux.
I had photos reviewed by Jordan Matter, engaged in multiple classes, and found out I have zero knowledge of dance terminology.
February rolled around and I FINALLY was able to see my broadway idol in NYC at 54 Below, Jeremy Jordan. His concert was personal, toward through song, and laid out for all to see & hear. The NYC agenda also included Good Morning America, Frozen on Broadway & Dear Evan Hansen. Basically, it was a whole week of crying from happiness. Little did we know that it would be the last in-person performances and traveling we'd do for awhile.
