The favorite

These two girls are adorable...

And happen to be two of my favorite little girls on the planet.

But when my husband and I visit...

Guess who's their favorite? (The aunt that takes cute pictures of them all the time? Nope.)

That's right... They LOVE their fluffy-haired, story-telling, sesame-street-watching, beard-bearing, uncle-in-law.

I guess I've been moved to second place. Now I'm just the "Amanda, come take a picture of me in my pretty dress!" aunt.

But don't worry. I'm not jealous. Not even a little bit.

Because he happens to be my favorite too. :)

 

 

My life in Instagram

Instagram. It's pretty much my favorite thing since color-coded stores and gluten free macaroni and cheese! I've been using it daily for over a year now and love the opportunity to capture and share little bits of my life seamlessly and quickly. 

Like that one time I spilled raw chicken juice all over myself.  It was a brilliant move. But don't worry - National Free Donut Day makes up for it.

Or the one time I finished my lunch date and got back to my car with only 1 minute left on the parking meter? That was almost as good as the one time I beat my husband in cribbage by 53 points.

Or the memories of carrying 6 people's luggage through the airport - just the two of us. And that really awesome time we actually went to a wedding and I wasn't working - it was just the two of us.

But sometimes Instagram is a place to make a public confession. Like, I'm obsessed with Lord of the Rings and I love Legos so much wish I could collect them. So my husband bought me this! (He knows me so well...)
