Happy Monday! Rob and I are back from a great weekend away--we stopped at my parents' house Thursday night before heading to Farmville to visit two of my favorite college professors at Longwood on Friday. My brother met us for dinner and spent the night in town so we could hang out together on Saturday for a little Hampden-Sydney tailgating before the game. Then we headed back to Charlotte on Saturday night so we could wake up in our own bed on Sunday and have an entire day to unwind at home.

I thought I'd share some photos from my phone with you today, since it's been a while since I did that. Here's what life looks like lately, according to Instagram:

1. Sunday hikes in North Carolina. This was yesterday at Lake Wylie.
2. Rob and I on the field at this weekend's football game. My first time back as a wife!
3. Grainger Hall, where I took all of my English classes at Longwood University.
4. Post-grocery shopping last Monday afternoon (in my favorite boots). I had to go to the dentist later that evening for some work and thought that the flowers might cheer me up. They kind of did.
5. My new favorite verse/mantra: "Be anxious for nothing." Easier said than done sometimes.
6. What most Friday mornings look like these days--we've been traveling so much!
7. My best friend Emma and her sweet boyfriend Bryan came to visit a few weeks ago and we had the best time.
8. Autumn in Charlotte comes later than in other places I've lived, but I'll take it.
9. The view from an Asheville parking garage.

What has life in your world looked like recently? I want to know.

Happy Monday! It's been a while since I've shared some photos around here, so I thought I'd fill you in this morning! Here's a quick look at life according to my phone's camera roll.

1. The station in our neighborhood. We just hop on and take a quick ride into the city.
2. I have no idea what happens in this building, but I love walking past it.
3. Our cozy new bed in our cozy new bedroom! Getting a king was one of the best decisions we've ever made.
4. Monday morning grocery shops.
5. Went to Roanoke for a weekend at the end of September to celebrate Patrick's sister's baby shower!
6. Charlotte looking blue as can be one morning last week.
7. Coffee dates with Rob.
8. Finally changed my name, five whole months after the wedding.
9. A gorgeous rainy hike yesterday morning.

I don't know about you, but for me, half the fun of sharing photos on social media is in going back, months later, and reminiscing about that hike, meal, wedding, cup of coffee, or whatever it was that made you stop and snap a photo in the first place. So I scroll through my feed, sometimes through two years of photos.

I was just introduced to Seahorse, which is a mobile application that lets you grab photos from multiple sources (Facebook, Instagram, your phone, etc.) and put them into collections, called "Scenes." Then you can add friends to each scene and they can contribute photos to create a shared experience. I think this would be so fun for a bachelorette party or wedding weekend! You can add all of your friends and share photos along the way.

The scenes I've created so far are "Wedding Photos," "Minnesota" (probably my favorite right now), and "North Carolina." I added Rob to my Minnesota one so he can add photos from his phone, too. It makes such a nice little shared album!

Do you use Seahorse? If not, you should download it (here for Android and here for Apple) and let me know what you think! The app is free, but with the promo code CLEVERHORSE, you can get an extra 5GB or storage until October 31st!
