Christmas is coming early

Since I sent my camera with Kevin on his road trip, I figured that I needed to buy myself a new one. Okay, any little excuse will do to find a reason to buy myself a new toy. So I asked around, did a little research and settled on a Nikdon D90. I've wanted a SLR for a loooong time now and made enough at my other part time job to buy it in two months. See I am trying to be fiscally responsible, I earned the money first!! I almost talked myself out of it a few weeks ago and then I saw some of the video of "The Last Lecture" and decided to live for today and not worry about what more practical things I could buy with the $$$. Then I go to church today and someone talks about food storage and of course I am feeling guilty for spending money on something we can't eat in an emergency. But then again now I can take some really good pictures of food. Anyways it is too late now, it is ordered and on the way. Now I can't wait, I am hoping it gets here before Colton's last volleyball tournament so I can experiment with it.

Nice choice on the D90! My friends who shoot Nikon love them. Glad you spent the money on yourself. Mom's always put themselves last and I'm glad you didn't this time. Can't wait to see some of your work.
