GREAT times....

....at the melting pot last night!!! little did i know that it was a baby party too! what a surprise! i can't believe i made it through without crying! the endorphins from the chocolate must have given me a boost. ;) i'm sooo blessed to have such thoughtful friends!!! the gifts were all so beautiful!!! and just getting to spend the night out to dinner with them was such a gift to me! they are so hilarious, fun, talented and inspiring!!! we were having so much fun that they practically had to kick us out! :D here are a few pictures.

i think i'm getting better!

i took some pictures of the girls helping kurt paint my new bench yesterday. i took some pictures in auto and some in manual mode. and i'm proud to say that the ones i took in manual mode look a little better than the ones in auto! (in my very humble opinion, anyway) yay!!!!! the white balance on auto seemed a little off and i think it was a little overexposed. i probably should have backed up to get kurt and anna more in focus too, but i was pleased with the lighting. i have A LOT more to learn, but that's ok because it's SO much fun!

the first one was taken in manual and the second on in auto. i haven't edited them at all except to resize. please ignore our dirty car! ;)

new hair...

my mom has had the same haircut for almost 20 years. so i was pretty surprised today when she said she was finally ready to get it cut. i almost ran her over to garbo's before she could change her mind! i think she looks great! it will be easier for her to style, cooler for the summer and it makes her look younger! the first picture is the before (from my brother's wedding) and the rest are the afters.

my new camera!!!!!!

i debated and debated between the digital rebel and the 20d, but everyone finally convinced me that if i got the rebel i could buy more cool lenses. :) so here are my first few pictures with my uncooperative subjects.
