in which i dump tons of old, random iphone photos into one post.

true life: i am a picture hoarder.

but you already knew that.

so that’s why it’s probably no surprise to you that i have pictures from almost a year ago on my phone, despite the fact that i take an average of, oh, maybe 7 photos a day. this also explains why there are 2,000+ photos on my iphone, preventing me from updating my phone to the new iOS 7.0.2. kind of sad, isn’t it?

slowly but surely, i’m getting more and more pictures deleted, but let me tell you, it’s no easy feat. especially when i take several weekend trips in a row and the average number of pics i take per day increases exponentially. but that’s where this post comes in – a hodgepodge of photos that never got posted, starting back in november of last year (!). back in time we go!

{mimi surprised dad on his birthday with a GIANT wine glass at his place for dinner!}

{that’s a “big boy” glass of wine, if i ever saw one! a couple other pictures from his and mom’s birthdays here.}

{lucky sleeping in his new bed that he got for christmas on the way home from nama’s – now it’s his most prized possession – and celebrating christmas at mimi’s, with a little wrapping paper stuck to his mouth. he kills me. more pictures to go along with these here and here.} {lots of snow at nama’s during christmastime!}

{that poof tail.}

{last january/february, looking pretty wintery at work!}

{cheers to friends who will meet me on a whim for a drink after a tough day!}

{and thank you to another thoughtful friend who sent me this care package after papa passed away. angelica, you are the sweetest!}

{one of the chefs at work made this yummy brioche drizzled in chocolate, and the second picture is possibly the best bruschetta i’ve ever had [besides italy] from the social house in addison.}

{my dad’s name is frank, and pizza, beer, and wine are three of his favorites, so i had to take a pic. i love him and my darling mama. <3}

{ashley isn’t really a delta gamma, but she might as well be! and i love this invitation for my dg little sister’s bridal shower.}

{a pretty apple pie made by a family friend, and donut holes!}

{family rocks.}

{takes 1 and 2 of the sibling picture…}

{…and take 3 was a success! except someone is looking veryyyy serious, and it’s not mike or me! when i look at this picture, all i can think about is, “we’re the three best friends that anyone could have…” and it makes me laugh every time. in the second picture, we’re awkward prom posing. typical.}

{happy birthday to mike [back in march]! see more pictures from his birthday here.}

{how cool is this job?? painting bunnies and eggs on the floor of whole foods!}

{april showers bring may flowers and… babies! i was invited to three baby showers in about two weeks this past spring!}
