A Picture A Day

I've challenged myself to update this blog with at least one picture and one caption each day. With my new phone/camera/Angry Bird machine this should be fun!

A box of 5.10 shoes, jeans, and t-shirts arrived in the mail last week! I've been practically living in five ten, head to toe, ever since.

WinterFest in Redstone is an annual winter festival complete with ice climbing, pull-up contests, snow sculptures, dog races, and lots and lots of good friends.

Andrew and I have been busy learning the ins and outs of our new phones. The camera apps are lots of fun.

After a fun weekend with friends it's back to work.

Sorpis Mountain on the drive home from school. With views like this it's hard to imagine living anywhere else.

Nothing like a nice hot bath after a long day!

Sun, sun, sun. . . makes everything beautiful.

Hello Smart Phone

I purchased my first iPhone this week and couldn't be happier.  Over Christmas vacation my lack of a smart phone bordered on embarrassing.  Friends were appalled that simply giving me an address would not get me to the desired destination.  I actually needed them to give me directions. I was also unable to choose a highly rated restaurant that was both moderately inexpensive and within walking distance of our current location. At one point two friends offered to loan Andrew and I one of their phones for our drive from Alabama to Georgia. They simply couldn't understand how we would make it with only our dumb phones to guide us.

Like I said, borderline embarrassing.

But not anymore. I'm pretty sure buying my iPhone will be the last decision I ever have to make. Twice today I utilized the magic 8 ball app to answer a tough question. I've also been streaming Pandora in my car nonstop!  It's simply amazing!

If only there was an app to help me decide which haircut to get tomorrow and which iPhone case to order. But then there probably is, and I just haven't looked hard enough yet.

My favorite feature of the new phone is the camera! Check out my life since the arrival of my new phone.
