Upcoming Documentary on First Descents

So amazing. Brought back a ton of memories and gave me chills. Out living it, y'all!!

Blessed & Humbled by First Descents Love

"This weekend isn't about the fancy ball, or the dress, or the over the top stilettos and larger than life hat. It's about the way it feels to be surrounded by some of the most important and influential people in my life. It's the feeling of gratitude that comes from sharing space with incredible human beings who love one another unconditionally. This is First Descents. (This is First Descents Out Living It: The Dressy Version). This is the one family dinner that you wouldn't dare to miss...especially with Brad Ludden sitting at the head of the table. This is FD LOVE." ~Beth Silverman

I am exited to be in Vail this weekend for the Annual First Descents Ball. Yes, it is a ball, but it is so much more than that. If you have attended a First Descents camp, you know how life changing it is. At the ball this weekend, we gather to be thankful for the life we continue to be able to live and spread the love that has been given to us by the First Descents family.

More pictures to come!
