Sometimes, apples are blue.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty ecstatic for my new phone to arrive this week!!!

I've been needing a new phone for a while, but I'm glad Santa Levi got me this new lil gem.  It'll arrive at my work, on Wednesday.  Looking back at last week, when Levi was anxiously awaiting his Xbox One, his excitement and daily tracking of his gift makes total sense.  
I've been wanting an Apple for a while, not for any hipster reason, but only for the InstaBooth app. 
Yep, an app.
I go crazy every time I hang with Hermanita, cause all I ever want to do is take InstaBooth pics!! It's pretty odd, I know, but I just have a thing for photo booths!! So much fun and a throwback to my pre-teen years!  
Anyways....so just 2 more days and I'll have this lil beauty and in my hot lil' hands!

Missionary Mail!

I LOVE receiving emails from my nephew, Bub!

Especially when they contain photos!  

He's currently in the MTC {Missionary Training Center} in Provo, Utah for a couple more weeks.  I love hearing how much he loves it there and how well he's picking up the Tagalog language.  

I'm glad to know that he's having fun and gettin' along with all of the other missionaries in his district....but then again, it's Bub, it's hard not to like him!

And it's funny to see that missionaries still take "floating" photos. 

Oh my Bub, I sure do miss him so! 

I know that he's in the right place, at the right time, right now.  

I know that the experiences that are awaiting him, in the Philippines, will make him a better person and have him grow in ways that we cannot even imagine. 

HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!!
