Those of you who know me know that I am NOT a cell phone person. I have been known to lose my phone, let it run out of batteries for days at a time, never even set up my voice mail much less check it.
All of this changed when I got my iPhone! Man, I love this little gadget! It is amazing! And I am NOT a techie AT ALL. Mine is even an old one, a 2G, purchased from Craigslist. I DON'T have internet on it, and I *still* love it!
iPhone, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. . .
1) I have the entire Bible on there, which I can read in the dark with a toddler snuggled up next to me fast asleep. I don't need to turn on any lights or fumble with pages which may wake up little Aar Bear. The iPhone is backlit - so I can read it perfectly in the dark :-).
2) I have discovered the value of texting - mainly because the iPhone keeps the texts so organized. . . by contact, and it shows up as little bubbles as if you are having a conversation with each other (which you are).
3) I LOVE being able to put my contacts in there and be able to take a picture of the said contacts. I know that other phones probably have this, too, but the iPhone, again, keeps it all very organized.
4) It takes decent pictures. Not in any way comparable to my Canon, but pretty darn good. The quality is higher than the photos we took with our digital point and shoot when Matthew and Nathan were babies (yes, yes, I know that this was a long time ago, and that a year in tech years is like dog years, but still!)
5) All the cool games you can download for a buck or two. It's great! I personally love Scramble and Doodlejump. I am sure there are other wonderful apps out there and I haven't even gone beyond the tip of the iceberg. I don't have a lot of time to play games. . . so I am happy with the couple that I have.
6) I can listen to MLB.com on there - which means I can listen to every Dodger game and hear Vin Scully - Yeah! This is a BIG DEAL since I am not in Los Angeles anymore.
6) I don't let it run out of batteries or lose it because as I have listed above - it is SO much more than a phone!
Hmmm. . .this is probably a REALLy boring post to those who don't know what I am talking about. How about some pictures? We recently downloaded an app called Hipstamatic - it takes photos and makes them look like you took them with an old time camera. These are some photos I took at a wedding we went to on Saturday. Whatcha think?
And YES - that is boba milk tea you see behind the flowers. The bride and groom had all you could drink boba available for everyone. How cool to have boba at a wedding reception!
And possibly even cooler - cotton candy! Yes, cotton candy for all the kids at the reception! As you can see, Nene and cousin Jay Jay were soooo happy (and sticky)!
Sarah and Daniel were the bride and groom. Sarah is Dave's second cousin. It was a beautiful wedding and fun reception. The best part was that we all rejoiced with them knowing that the Lord brought them together. They are both God-fearing, Jesus-loving people - and it was so wonderful to see them become a new family in Christ.
