Canon Rebel T1i

So, I FINALLY got a new camera last night. After almost 3 months without a decent camera and I broke down and bought the Canon Rebel T1i. I just opened it this morning to charge the battery so that after work I can play around with it a bit. I'm quite excited, but very nervous. I've never spent this much money on something that has the potential to get lost/stolen/damaged so easily. But I'm excited to take my skills to the next level and I think this camera will really help out quite a bit. Yay.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith

No...not the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie movie...Matt and Nat Smith. A friend from Oregon was married in the San Diego temple this weekend. And since we happened to be in California celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary, we decided to crash the reception. We hadn't seen any of them in years. It was great to catch up and see everyone.

Dorie and Melissa Smith.

The Smith boys: Josh, Nate, Ike, Matt, and Jake.

The McCarty's, Sarah and Grant.

The newlywed's: Nat and Matt. Congratulations!

Hello!? Can we say dream job? Actually, I don't think that it qualifies as a job. Getting pampered every other week isn't exactly how I would define WORK. I know I shouldn't covet, but goodness me. I WANT that "job". And since I can't have it, I plan to live vicariously through Heather. Here's where you come in.
