Insta.

How thankful am I for iPhones and photo apps? Very. I know it's like...blah blah blah blah...broken record...but look at all these memories! Oh, sometimes I just love life so much that I can't handle it.

It also put things in perspective for me when I heard about this project at church this morning. I have been trying to google it to show you but I can't remember the name (anyone know what I'm talking about?) The point is people who do have cameras and the resources to print photos coming together to provide portraits for those who don't have the resources. We are all so lucky to have internet access and camera phones. We sometimes take it for granted but not everyone has the ability to capture their memories. So if you're looking for a way to be positive today and play the glad game, there you go!

So here are some of my memories for you to view if you're so inclined. And even if you do have instagram, isn't it fun to see the pictures a little bigger? It honestly doesn't take much for me to classify something as fun.





























Life smells like a rose with someone to paint and someone to pose.

    I la la la love instagram. I also love that because of this app people are now capturing those moments that usually go uncaptured!
