camera catch up

we have so many photos to sift through from our time at the cottage, so here are some old ones i snapped a few weeks ago at barton nature area to try out my new lens.  (spoiler alert:  it rules).

hopefully we can get all the pictures sorted through soon.  summer is always such a busy time.

hope everybody enjoys the 4th tomorrow!  (or for those of you who do not celebrate the 4th, enjoy your thursday too!)

instagram dump

 

it's a bit busy round these parts recently so for now you just get phone pictures of what we've been up to lately.

the good news is: i ordered a 50mm lens for my DSLR and it. is. off. the. hook.  hopefully this means you'll be seeing a lot more of our adventures through a much prettier point of view, but as of right now iphone photos will have to suffice.

unfortunately i completely forgot to get a picture from last night when steve, my parents and i got dinner to celebrate my mom's birthday (and a little bit belated fathers day for dad)!  we had a great time and stuffed our bellies like piglets and we were practically the last ones there when we finally headed out.  happy birthday mom (and thanks for dinner parents... we are still young and poor)!!

as far as the rest of things go, steve and i recently found ourselves our new favorite park in ann arbor and we have been having a blast exploring in what little free time we have right now.

being busy is making time fly though.  when on earth did we get so far into june??

slow down summer!  i'm still not tan yet!

(oh and hey are you following me on instagram yet?)

i didn't get around to blogging yesterday because sometimes you just need a second to whine to your boyfriend about being blamed for others' sloppiness at work.

and sometimes you just need a second to go outside and enjoy the 80 degree weather.  we took an adventure in the arboretum and i got all instagram happy (and actual happy too).

it's been so great that steve finally has a chance to relax before starting work in june, but it does make my job feel like such a bummer time-suck since i can't go out an play in the sun until dinnertime.  how am i ever going to get anything like a tan?

it's not the most fun feeling kind of bored, but i suppose we should get our kicks now because i don't think we are going to get a chance to be bored too often in the near future.

for now we are looking forward to the weekend and hopefully we are going to be able to tour our potential "first place" on saturday morning!  it's so exciting that we are finally moving in together after all this time!! happy thursday!

(and if you want to get all my instagram updates before i rehash them here)
