Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted.
Time you enjoy wasting was not wasted. – John Lennon
To anyone who doesn't already have the privilege of knowing this beautiful woman, this is Jenna. She's my one of my very best friends. Ever. Of all time. She's adorable, she's opinionated, she has very strange pet peeves, she loves Mexican food and hates a lot of other really delicious things (see: tomatoes, mushrooms and buffalo wild wings), she is never caught without her iphone, she sees beauty in little details that many people miss, and she's currently about to pop with what I know will be one of the world's most beautiful baby girls.
I love this picture because to me, this is so Jenna it's almost absurd. And it fits this quote so well (a quote she chose for the project, I might add), that I had to use it. Jenna would never accuse anyone of wasting time on their phone. Never. And this is one of the many little reasons that add up to the MFH amount of love I have for her. When I'm with her, it's impossible for me to ever waste time.

I love the contrast of light and dark tones here, and I love pregnant bellies!!! This came out beautifully, Ali. Nice work, you two!!
And Lennon never had a bad quote. Nice choice on that as well.

Love love love love. The beautiful backlighting, her beautiful belly, the b&w. This is gorgeous. And the fact that it "fits" her totally makes the photo.

I think your husband has to worry that you are going to run off with Jenna.
