TBT (throwback thursday)

In honor of "Throwback Thursday," I would like to take this ripe opportunity to post some of my fave instagram pics captured over the past year and a half or so. This is by NO means an exhaustive list, nor is there any rhyme or reason for this post. I just felt like doing it and it's my blog with an average of 1-3 readers, so I figure, what the heck? Let's get crazy.

Disclaimer: beware of an instagram picture bonanaza. It was SOOO hard to narrow this down to less than 500 pics - ha. And picking just a few from Italy, ugh, forget about it. I wanted to post them all!! Nevertheless, I exercised some (moderate) restraint and selected just a few.

i love, love, love this pic. it was at an outdoor concert and the sun's rays were shining in such a perfect way. the arms raised in the corner was just a total coincidence, but i love that it looks like they are reaching up to God in heaven.
