High School
We met in high school at Georgetown Visitation in Georgetown, DC. Although each grade was relatively small (150 girls or so), we never had any classes together. It was not until Junior Year that we had a free period together! Every day, we had 40 minutes or so to hang out in the Juniors Lounge. It was then that we realized we had so much in common! It was wild to think we attended school for two full years without really spending any time together, getting to know each other. From then on we were best friends! Here are a few gems from high school –
Junior Year Retreat
Gold vs. White – A Visitation Tradition. We were the Basketball Coaches and recited the pump up speech from Miracle to get our players ready!
College
After graduating high school, we went our separate ways, Molly to University of Dayton and Katie to Cornell. However, we visited each other and chatted on the reg! Below are some photos during our college years –

Post College
After we graduated college, Molly moved to Avignon, France to teach English and Katie moved to Boston to pursue a career in real estate. After a year or so, we both returned to DC and started The DC Darlings!
