I am such a lucky girl. I have the most beautiful son in the world who does not hesitate to show his affection for me by giving me sloppy, open mouthed kisses. (Yes, AIDAN really DOES only kiss with his mouth open!) I also have the sweetest, most caring, most loving, most giving husband in the world.
Today was one of those "giving" days, according to Alex. I've had my eye on a new DSLR camera for the past six months or so... But, seeing as how they are soooo darned expensive, I always just kind of drooled over them in the stores when we "window shopped."
This afternoon, Alex told me he had a surprise for me. So when Aidan and I came back home after running our morning errands, Alex drove us to Circuit City. When he saw the puzzled look on my face, he said that he wanted to look at a new Anti-Virus program for one of our PCs. Oh, okay, I thought.
So, of course my jaw dropped when he walked over to the digital camera section and told the salesperson that he wanted to purchase the Canon Digital Rebel XT. I think I finally was able to lift my jaw back up as we were walking out the door, with a brand new Canon DSLR and a new memory card in tow.
I was so excited to get home and use the camera. I've already taken over two hundred pictures! (Talk about putting new miles on it!) These are some of my favorites so far:
I wish I could say that I'll miss our old Kodak point and shoot, but, honestly, I don't think I will. We may just keep it so Aidan can play with it or if we find someone in need, we'll give it away. It's not that it's a bad camera (it's not -- it's a 6.1 MP), it just doesn't have the manual setting capabilities that the Canon has. Oh, and the super sslllooowww shutter speed that always drove me nuts. Yeah, I won't miss that. Not at all.
