I'm so glad I decided to start doing this. I love setting up these posts because I have so much fun looking at the past week. What I didn't realize was that it would be work to take a photo everyday.

It was a bunch of games and once you got to a certain point it was just, well, boring. For a little while I lost my faith in the … [Read more...]
