Falling Asleep at the Metro Metro.

Yesterday I embarked on an adventure with my lovely sister Melissa! With open hearts, we headed to Washington, D.C. to hear Jamie, from To Write Love On Her Arms, talk and Joshua Moore sing. Here is the short story version of the day:

I went to my design technology class and worked on learning how to fold paper in a certain way. This was all taught to me through YouTube paper folding videos. Then when in class my friend William popped by to say hello because he happened to be in the Gdes section of Pollak art building. Then I left after class and drove over to Melissa's apartment.

Melissa and I went to this little shop that sells bikes from craigslist. We were hoping to get her bike there that she wanted from the list of craigs. And so we walked and laughed there together... the bike was sketch-a-letch so she decided it wasn't for her and stuff... so then we went back to her apartment laughed with Allison and peaced out!

We got on the highway and started randomly listening to songs. Our conversation went everywhere, from the seriousness to the laughter-filled lets geeeeggeeegeee make fun of each other... in the loving and I'm picking on you b/c I care way. :) We stopped at Burger King where we ate some foods and drank some Black Gold, which was delicious if I may say so myself!!! Then we drove on to the Metro Station that is just outside DC and the closest on to Richmond. From there we parked and got on the Metro.

HEHE. We looked at the map with confidence b/c it's a map and tells you where to go... but... we kind of road for an extra bit or two and then laughed b/c we had to turn around and go back! But that's okay b/c we got some cool photographs out of the wrong direction-ness. We got to D.C. and it was getting pretty dark so we recorded some video footage and then went to a gift shop to ask where Ebenezer's Coffee Shop was located... apparently there are streets that are named after letters!!! It's located at 201 F Street. HAHA! Melwren and I were like, WHAT IS THIS!? After walking and seeing some of the monuments in super speed style we called my bro and asked him for directions on how to get to the coffee shop...

Then we walked for a really long time. WALK walk walk walked walky walkerson... and met some mean people and met some nice people and then finally finally finally!!! We made it to the shop!!! I got an apple soda, as well as Melissa did too'd and it was tastey. We also got a peanutbutter cookie. YUM! And Jamie walked in and I was like "cool there's Jamie" and Mel said i was being a creeper... which i was hahah...

The show was grand, Josh's voice is beautiful. Jamie's talk was nice. And I got to talk to both of them which was super cool!!!

Now I just have to write Jamie a letter to ask if I can v-teer with them...

I can't write anymore.
LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Thank you Holy Spirit for keeping us safe on our travels and yay God and yeah!
