Oh no he didn't!!!

Oh yes he did!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you have been following my blog for a while, you may have heard me mention just a million few times how much I dislike my little digital point and shoot that has a crack on the view screen and is leaving little bits of itself everywhere we go, quite like breadcrumbs (I do get lost a lot) and how much I would love a "real"  camera.  Well, I guess hubby finally got tired of my camera envy and decided he better do something about it before there was nothing left of my trusty point and shoot and I get locked away for walking around with my hands in front of my face making a perfect a rectangle while going, "click, click, smile, click, click, click!" 

One glitch though, we have NO money!  So what did my dear sweet hubby do?  He scrimped and saved and participated in online surveys (he really loves me) until he had enough to surprise me with this camera, this wonderful camera!  I really did not know what he was going to do to top the love note in the dust but he did it!!!  I was so totally not expecting this and was a little (just a little) irritated with him for spending the money and for showing me up in the gift department this year (harumph) but he just has the biggest heart and wanted to do something for me that he had not been able to do in a long time! 

I am a little (just a little) bit older than hubby and did not meet and marry him until I was 32/33.  ALL my other friends were already married and starting their families.  I am SO glad I waited for him, for my Gift from God!

So, excuse me for a little while, while I play with figure out my new CAMERA!!!!! 

Thank you sweetheart!!!

  2. I am SOOOO excited for you Anne!!! What a wonderful, sweet hubby and an AWESOME present too! I know you're going to love it. The newer cameras like that take such beautiful pictures. I often times will have someone ask me about a picture I've taken and I tell them...trust me, it's not me, it's the camera! :) Have fun is right!

  9. Enjoy! Your photogenic life will never, ever be the same again! I'm trying to decide if I should bring ours to China. It's obviously more cumbersome than a point and shoot, and I am worried it will get broken, yet I know the picture quality will be 1,000 times greater if I do bring it. Argh. Decisions, decisions.
