Third Annual Friendsgiving
The Third Annual Friendsgiving was an unforgettable night; a celebration of friendship, music, and community, set deep in the woods. Knowing I’d soon be leaving for Zambia, I wanted to make this gathering extra special. It was a chance to see so many of my friends together one last time.
Friends came together from far and wide to share this moment. The energy of the crowd was warm and welcoming, reminding us all of what we mean to each other. As always, we went around the circle and shared what we were thankful for -- but this time it took some time.
Live music was a highlight of the evening, with some incredible performances by talented friends.
A giant fire was also a focal point; it wasn’t just for warmth but a place where conversations sparked and friendships deepened. There's something magical about sharing stories with friends under the stars.
Various homemade concoctions were flowing through my homemade alcohol machine. We ended up drinking over 20 gallons of beer, champagne, and rum coke.
The party left its mark, but we made sure to handle the cleanup responsibly. It was a small effort to leave the woods just as beautiful as we found them.
