weekends & my declaration of love for instagram

 

{shopping with sweet em who told me, "we had a great weekend together didn't we?". priceless}

 for the majority of my adult life

i've worked weekends & holidays.

i know...cry me a river right?

i had a job , a good job & for years the schedule i worked actually worked for us...

but i was so tired of being gone almost every saturday or sunday.

since making a major career move

i have loved being home & available for just whatever arises on the weekends.

if savannah pulls in to town unannounced...i'm good

if i find out jessica the founder of noonday is in town....i'm good

if my girls want to head out shopping...i'm good

if my handsome man wants a breakfast date...i'm good.

while i often have a photo session on the weekends, they only take a few hours

& are a big difference from leaving between 5-6 in the morning & pulling in sometime between 4-5pm.

this was one of those weekends were i was able to spend a little quality time with most of my family.

(smk will be home saturday!)

several months ago my phone broke.

i hated to pony up the money for a new phone but 

let me tell...i love my new phone. love it!

the whole instagram thing has revolutionized my ability to capture

even more moments!

as if...

a few things i realized as i worked on this post

1.  this will not be fascinating to the vast majority of you

 2. i have definitely violated the arbitrary number of images

allowed per blog post. 

again.

3. i actually liked madonna's like a prayer

& the drum line from last night's halftime. but that's all.

the whole tony basil-esque/highschool musical cheer thing was awful.

unrelated. i know.

4. i wear black leggings & boots way too much

& maybe even my "feed 1" shirt too!

5. i hopefully will never eat another thanksgiving meal

alone

in the breakroom at work!
