the above photo was taken with the app photosynth on.my.iphone. ummmmm - amazing, isn't it? 

anyway....

it's been said that I'm obsessed with Instagram.

this has been proven to be true. 

personally, I think  it's the best app ever created....it even outdoes the facebook and twitter apps...but I'm a hater of facebook most days and while I adore twitter...it's not pictures...so whatcha gonna do.

here is my week/weekend in instagrams :) 

1. leaving home // 2. addy eating ketchup // 3. the ocean breeze // 4.sunset // 5. no filter beach pic...used my glasses as a filter! // 6. the ocean // 7. strawberry hulk // 8. filleting dinner - yum! // 9. sunrise on the water - fishing! // 10. first time at pinkberry // 11. fish tacos // 12. my teensy crab friend, ned.

oh...and...do you see that gorgeous fish taco above? yeah. that one. with all the yumminess on it....I'm going to share that recipe later this week. It's probably one of my favorite meals EVER. legit. and soooooo easy to throw together!

hope you all had a fantastic weekend - I'll be getting some posts up soon with some exciting stuff in em! :)

xoxo, ruthanne

I am currently out of town for the rest of the week; fishing with daddy and the gang. I'll be back on Sunday..until then, enjoy your week!

back after a long little weekend.

oh, dear me.

I'm afraid it's been quite some time since I allowed myself to sit and write a post.

four days, actually.

my great grandpa's funeral was this past friday. my family and I went down a day early to help prepare everything, and ended up staying an extra night, saturday, to be with family. 

although the circumstances for which we were together were terrible and sad, the time we had was so precious.

the day of the funeral we had dinner together at leatherby's....a classic little ice cream/diner place. delicious. my cousin and I shared this:

gorgeous, isn't it? man. heaaaaaaaaven.

cousin nicole enjoyed it. can you tell?

we played dominoes in grandpa's honor:

-kendall and randy-

my cousin christian decided to post this picture on instagram, telling my followers he was handsome.

he was right, I know.

and many, many other lovely things took place. I am so grateful for my family, and what they mean to me.
