My cell phone

I've enjoyed my phone for 9 months or so and for at least 3 reasons: 1) I can text with a keyboard instead of pressing "1" three times for letter c, it's my favorite color, and it's 30% corn. ? Just because it's cool.

But I've been especially thankful for my phone lately. While in Oregon for Christmas I somehow managed to lose our camera. And I've done this before: on our honeymoon in Hawaii. Well, technically it was stolen. But I did accidently leave it in the bathroom on Sunset Beach, so really it's my fault. So frustrating.

But the upside is I've been able to use my camera phone a lot more. And I found out it actually takes pretty decent point and shoot pictures.

Also, since I always have my phone with me I capture moments I couldn't before when I didn't think to tote the camera. In fact, I think because I have the phone on me I snap more pictures than before. I think of documenting the little moments at home, the personal moments. Today it was the view of the trees in the snow out the front window.

Here's to cell phones and their cameras!
