Canon EOS Rebel T1i Digital SLR Camera

After reading a long blog entry of a photographer comparing many, many cameras, I think this might be the one I choose. It's not the best in the world obviously, but she describes it as by far the best in it's price range. However....it's not out yet....approximate arrival May 2009. But...that's just fine because I don't have money yet.....I have to save it and I think I will start with whatever money I get from selling my books back tomorrow after I take the last two finals of my college career!!

Stupid Snow

So.....on Sunday it looked like this around here (picture stolen from Emily Savage's blog. Thanks Emily!):

But....it rained, slushed, and snowed all day yesterday, and apparently all night because we woke up to this:

About 3 inches I'd say here in Spanish Fork....maybe a little more. That's A LOT MORE than "a little bit stuck on the grass" like the weatherman told me!

I think I'm ready to move to Phoenix......

Free at Last!

So....today was my last day of class in college.....EVER!

Two finals to take on Friday and then I'm done, done, done!

I will, however, sign up for a photography class once I buy a camera, but it will be very enjoyable.....because I could audit it!

Easter Sunday

So I didn't realize until about a week and a half ago that Easter was today.....and I haven't had the energy to dig out all of our Easter stuff, nor do I really feel like eating a bunch of candy. I guess since we don't have kids yet the plastic eggs and baskets idea just isn't that appealing. So when I was at Target at the beginning of the week I did buy a couple bags of candy.....jellybeans, chocolates, and Robin's Eggs for Russell. Then at the grocery store on Saturday we each picked out a chocolate bunny because Russell says you can't have Easter without one. That was our Easter.....kind of boring, but that's alright. There's PLENTY of other things going on!

To Lyndsey.....and Others Who Might Feel Picture Deprived

I know you are feeling deprived of pictures now that I'm not doing a picture a day. However.....we do have a picture a week over at ahlstromology.com.

But....I will appease in October. I have decided that I will do a picture a day for the baby's first year so that they can look back and see what was going on in the family's life during their first year.

I know that's still a long way away....but I will try to take more random pictures and write about them....even if it's not EVERY day!

After all...I wouldn't want you to not know the story of every item in our home next time you're here! Haha.

Soap Sale

I've been using my last bottle of shower gel from Bath and Body Works up and telling Russell I will have to watch for them to have a sale to get more. When we were at the Provo mall getting my shoes, we walked past and they were having a Buy 3, Get 3 Free sale! PERFECT!!! So I got six different scents of body wash.....and now I won't need soap for a very, very, long time!

Shoe Success

We went up to Shoe Carnival on Saturday morning. They just opened a store in Orem and I was hoping they would have some white shoes I liked. They had some, but they were boring, so we headed back to the Provo Mall and I got these:

I like them a lot, and I wore them today and they are MUCH more comfortable than my other ones!
