This afternoon Andy decided to take a trip in to Kansas City to the Russian store for his tea (he drinks this every morning!). When he returned he handed me a big green bag and said "Santa came early!" As I opened the bag and saw the box, my eyes immediately filled with tears. I knew what I was seeing, but I couldn't believe it! I was speechless! A CAMERA! A super dooper camera! We had just had a conversation a few days before about getting a camera by the summer...not before Christmas!
I think I cried off and on for about 2 hours because I was soo happy! I had Ana worried there for a little while. She saw me crying and just looked at me with the sadest eyes. She even came up to me and gave me a hug...twice! Andy kept saying over and over to her "It's ok! Momma is happy! You will see...she cries alot!"
Needless to say I am soooooooo excited about my new camera! I took a couple of test shots and am amazed at how awesome the quality is! I started reading the manual....there is so much to learn! I can't wait to start taking pictures!
MY HUSBAND IS AMAZING! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Hello family & friends! A few weeks ago we had some family pictures taken. The more I looked through the proofs of our pictures, the more I realized how much I want to be the one taking them! I want to be the one capturing such beautiful faces and places. I want to share my photography with the world! As most of you know, I already take a gazillion pictures. But now I'm ready to take it further and maybe even pursue a second career in photography! Now I realize I have a long way to go for that to happen, so this is my first step! My next step is a camera. If anyone has any input or opinion about what they like, please let me know! This summer I am going to look into some photography classes to teach me the basics. As soon as I get a camera (and learn how to use it!) I'll be ready to test it out on any and everyone!
