this year, i told mr. anderson that all i wanted for christmas was to spend a day shopping with him (and only him---well, and maybe olive).

i felt really overwhelmed with trying to think of something that i wanted/needed...and i felt even more overwhelmed with trying to think of something to get mr. anderson for christmas.

i have it hard because his birthday is next week too.

so, i thought we decided on spending a day with each other, picking out some new clothes and maybe doing a little thrift store shopping.

little did i know that mr. anderson decided to really surprise me---and he got me an iPhone.

i had been wanting one (or any smart phone, really) for quite a while, but i was not expecting it at all.

so now, i'm quite obsessed with my phone...it's amazing all that you can do on it.

my #1 obsession?  instagram.

a friend gave me her old iPhone a while back, and i've been using that to check my email whilst at home, but i couldn't fully use it because it wasn't my cell phone provider...so, i signed up for instagram a while ago, but wasn't using it to it's full amazing-ness.

now i am!

i'm "theandersoncrew" on there, if you'd like to follow.
