MAC a licious

-
So as we all know for years it been a battle between the Mac and  PC. Which one is better, which one is cooler, which one do you get to make a statement about yourself. I remember the first computer my mom purchased...it was rather big...and it was a PC. It went to college with me and i think it was that year in 96 that the internet just rocked. Got my first email with the college, talked on IM with my friends ALL THE TIME!! As the years progressed on there was this need for more computers, and we had several labs around our campus. One of the labs had all Macs in it. For designer classes and other things not real sure. But i happened upon that lab not knowing what i was doing, but scared to just leave the room of embarassment...silly yes! But i had sat down next to a friend Brian who grew up with Mac's and showed me how to get where i was going. I instantly loved it! I don't really know why but i did. Then the Mac marketing, putting themselves in all the movies, and tv shows...i was like these are way cool! So upon going to seminary i had a need to purchase a lap top. Mom and i never purchased another PC so that one had see its good 4 years and then it just faded into furniture. 
I remember it was in 2001 i believe that was able to afford a laptop. So i went on Mac's site purchased the 12' PowerBookG4 and and iPod (a i what??) haha Never looked back. Infact i am typing on that same PowerBook today. What a glorious day! 

I write all this to say that my hubby and i upgraded our phones to iphones just this last week. I have been torn for years as to if its 'worth' the money. If it really is necessary to have it. I am just fine with a simple phone. I have liked them since they came out and thought about getting it over and over. After discussing it with andrew a decision was made and now we have them. They are loads of fun, and handy. I can see why people love them. The apps are fun and totally awesome! 

I go back and forth as to whether we should have got them or not. I sometimes feel like everything i have is excess though. i don't know how to fight that battle. Where is the balance between heaven and here when it comes to technology? Any thoughts?

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics
