Yesterday I got to attend a conference at the White House (I’ll be writing more about that later), but because I always arrive early wherever I go I got to take some shots while standing in the cold. The wet cold that curled my hair and reminded me of getting up at 4:30 AM every morning to attend Seminary before school in the Tennessee winters. Memories are weird.
