I had been to Dallas a few times as a kid and had great memories of the city, so I was excited that we had the chance to visit again, even if it was for work. Brandon and I feel extremely blessed by our current jobs and rarely do we actually feel as if it is work. The purpose of this work trip was to put on a workshop for aspiring filmmakers. Brandon and the rest of the team do the teaching and I organize, coordinate and make sure all attendees are having a pleasant experience.
I can't even tell you what a blast this trip was! I walked away from this with a sense of accomplishment and pride in the work that I do, as well as new friends!

Heading to this workshop I thought I was just extra hands to run errands and make things smooth but before I knew it I became a student! Yup, you're seeing right, that's me holding a foam core board for DIY lighting. There were many jokes about getting a camera in my hands but we'll just have to see about that.
I had to post this picture because I couldn't be more proud of my husband! He completely stepped out of his comfort zone and taught these students with ease and confidence.
My experience in Dallas as an adult was just as great as when I was a kid! Downtown Dallas is fairly clean and has a breath-taking skyline! The architecture was fascinating and so much more creative than most of the buildings in California. My only complaint would be those dog-gone freeways and frontage roads. And that's saying a lot since we live in Southern California with a billion freeways.
