The Arizona Russums: On Instagram...

On Instagram...

There is nothing I love more about having an iPhone {aka Pheobe} than having Instagram. It was the first app I ever downloaded {before I even left the phone store - read about it here} and I quickly gave it a full 5 star rating. I think I had an unrecognized envy stirring deep within me when I saw other people’s pretty Instagram pics all over Facebook and Twitter since I was basically the last person in the world to board the iPhone train.

So when I started noticing people doing a photo-a-day Instagram challenge in January, I was intrigued. Use Instagram even more than I already do? Okay. I quickly found out that Fat Mum Slim organizes a photo challenge each month and when I saw the line-up of daily photo assignments for February, I was in. And you know what? I never missed a day. That’s how I obsessed I am.

So here it is. All the lovely little things I documented during February’s photo challenge…

#1 – My view today {substitute teaching} // #2 – Words {St. Augustine quote in my kitchen} // #3 – Hands {I love my ring!} // #4 – A stranger {Outside the Phoenix Open} // #5 – 10am {late to church}

#6 – Dinner {coffee cake…oops!} // #7 – Button {Elevator to my office} // #8 – Sun {on my way to class} // #9 – Front Door {love our new house} // #10 – Self-portrait {in the car}

#11 – Makes you happy {coffee…always} // # 12 – Inside your closet {love our new walk-in} // #13 – Blue {Recessive trait} // #14 – Heart {For hubs’ lunch on V-day} // #15 – Phone {I love Phoebe!}

#16 – Something new {switching into a new PhD program!} // #17 – Time {Watch from sis!} // #18 – Drink {Living Water} // #19 – Something you hate to do {vacuuming and mopping…ew} //

#20 – Handwriting {These commands were written with God’s finger. Crazy!}

#21 – A fave photo of you {or a photo of me with my fave people} // #22 – Where you work {my desk at ASU} // #23 – Your shoes {finally found red flats!} // #24 – Inside your bathroom cabinet {Micah made the photo collage} // #25 – Green {our duvet cover}

#26 – Night {Twilight in our neighborhood} // #27 – Something you ate {breakfast} // #28 – Money {true treasure} // #29 – Something you’re listening to {Mars Hill Luke Series}

xoxo,
Jen

Being able to take pics of things at any given moment and then edit them is the best thing ever.
