I just recently upgraded to the new iphone 4S. It was a struggle for me because I resent the fact that my phone is always ready for upgrade when Apple decides to only release an update rather than a new product. I might as well congratulate everyone that has an iphone 4 on the new iphone 5’s they’ll be receiving next year. Wait, am I a brat?

Alas, I didn’t really know if I wanted one because I thought my pitiful 3GS might hold out for another year, but apparently that’s not an option when you’re married to my husband. Sarcasm aside, I’m very grateful that he did all the hard work of ordering, receiving, uploading, charging, etc. I do laundry. He manages technology. It works for us.

I was sifting through some old iphone photos yesterday and thought what a funny commentary it must be on my life over the last year. The photos we take with our phones say much more about us than we realize, I think. Our sense of humor. Our time. Our interests. Here are some highlights from mine:

The snow storm of February 2011. It was a grand day of not having to go to work. It was also a special time when all the mice from the field behind our house decided to burrow in the back yard. He may have lost the battle, but D won the war. Here he is showing off his first kill. So proud.

I really posted this picture because it reminded me of how much I adored this chandelier. I noticed it many months ago and now I’m wondering how I can meander my way back to the store to see if it’s still there…

My first solo ride in the car with Charlie. He was so deceptively adorable. How I managed this photo in traffic I’ll never know.

God bless John and his disgusting mustache. We showed up to Bible study on a random Wednesday evening and our beloved John had decided to shave his beard into a mustache just for laughs. It was a weird day.

Why did I take a picture of this, you might ask. Honestly I think I was so excited that the Reese’s Christmas Trees were released in stores, I took a picture just so that I could text Amy Ann. I don’t have to explain it to her.

Flowers from D. They came to my office on July 21st, 2010 exactly one month before we got married. The card read “one month until the best day of my life.” So completely true.

A shirt. Boomer Sooner.

My Dad’s phone after he received a notification that my awesome grandmother was now on Facebook. We’re so happy she’s embraced technology!

Well, I just had fun. I don’t know if anyone else will care, but I thoroughly enjoyed reveling in my silly old photos. Something that I think validates some my husband’s hard work on so many levels. I would love to see others post something similar. Amy Ann?
