Last November, I used a social networking app to start making some lady friends in the area. If you’re familiar with the path in my life, you know that it has involved a lot of moving around. I’ve always managed to make lasting friendships everywhere I’ve lived, but as I got busier with work, I was finding it harder to know exactly what to do to find people interested in the same things as me (without having to pour a lot of energy into activities that I wasn’t sure I’d love). A lot about self-care is making sure that the energy that you are spending on your environment is nurturing and worth your while.
This is how I became friends with Kate, and I am so thankful that I did! A fellow transplant to the PNW from the Midwest, she is also in the Professional Services industry. There’s a lot to making new friends that can be incredibly difficult to read or hard to deal with, but we instantly hit it off.
She recently celebrated marrying her partner in crime, Luke, and the details - down to the silliness in their vows - were so sweet and reflective of their partnership. I felt honored to be able to capture some of the spirit of their day!
Congratulations to this awesome couple & their families.
