Hello Handsome! Meet My New Nikon D3100!

I am so incredibly excited! I don't covet much, but over the past 6 months or so, I have coveted this camera more than I care to admit. It's shameful actually. I would visit it at whatever store I was in, I would stalk it online, and I'd secretly cry a tear or 70 before bed each and every night. I could have bought it but I'm a tightwad. I just didn't want to plunk the money down. But the other day, I just couldn't get this lovely beast out of my head, not even for a second.

The minute B got home, I kind of assertively announced, "I'm going to buy that camera today.". His reply was simply "Ummm...OK". You see, he'd been telling me to get it all along. Then we went into a stupid (on my part) discussion about my reasoning for getting this particular camera. I was trying to get him to talk me out of it. Every point I brought up, he agreed with, so actually I was arguing with myself (that's not really all that uncommon anyway). When I was through with my argument for one, B looked at me with "that" look and said, "So when are you headed to the store?". Everything is so simple to him. I want to be him when I grow up and stop worrying so much! 

So yes, I got it! WOOT WOOT! I've been snapping away ever since. I'm still trying to get the hang of it but wanted to show you just a couple of shots of the babies (no editing, just plain and simple awesomeness from my new BFF). I need practice but the days of the blurry, out of focus photos are gone forever!

And speaking of handsome! Look at this little man. I'm finally able to capture those amazing eyes.

I am highly aware that the lighting of this photo isn't great but the point here is that this fantastic piece of equipment is fast as lightning. Now instead of just telling you about Bug, I can show you her many personalities through photos.

So my friends, it has been a good week. I can't wait for the weekend when I really have time to get to know my new friend better! I'll be back to share. In the mean time, Sparkle On!
