best of 2010 {in photos} PART ONE

inspired by elise, and many others in the blog world, i decided to post some favorite photos from the year. as i started scrolling through the thousands of pictures in my flickr account, i realized just how difficult it is to narrow down favorites! below you will find some highlights from the first half of 2010. stay tuned for the second half tomorrow.

 i highly recommend reviewing your photos from the prior year. it really was eye-opening to see our life at a glimpse that way. it's a smack in the face as to how blessed we truly are.
