california

i feel like i should start this post off with letting everyone in on something; i have the best friends out there. i feel so blessed by everyone in my life and my recent trip to california proved to be nothing short of incredible because of them. i flew out and surprised charissa for her 22 birthday and the week ended up being one of the best of my life. charissa and i headed down to laguna for a beach day and it couldn't have been a more perfect day. 

instax

i was out and about about a week ago when i stumbled into a camera store going out of business.

they had signs all over the windows for 80 and 90 pecent off of everything in stock, i figured it wouldn't hurt to at least check. well immediately after walking in I saw it. a fujifilm instal 210. i had literally put one in my cart on amazon the night before, it was fate. i triple checked the price when i saw it and went straight to the counter a happy camper. i couldn't love it more, it's such a fun camera to have and the control i have is even more impressive then i could have imagined.
