Maddie and Me

Going is home is always an adventure.

It’s a trip so casual that I make no plans. I don’t pack special outfits for certain occasions. I text my mom the time I fly in to Spokane.

But I do always make sure to text Maddie too.

My best friend, my creater in crime. We went to the lake the day after Christmas. I told her to bring an extra jacket cause my ski jacket wasn't going to cut it for photos. We walked on the dried up lake bed taking pictures. People were honking at us driving by in their trucks as they wound through the lakeside of Hope, Idaho. Hope is a hidden gem I never took advantage of growing up nearby. Now it rests in my heart. How wonderful is it that a place called “Hope” has such beautiful memories?
