happy birthday to me
June 5, 2008

Photobucket

I turned 30 in February. So far, I really like my 30s. My parents bought me a new camera for my day and it just took me a while to decide and then it took me a while to make the purchase. I consulted with my bff Paige because she knows everything about taking bring-you-to-your-knees photos and we landed on this camera that I still don’t know how to use but I am using it and I feel empowered and giddy and, well, like a total badass with my new friend. Thanks mom and dad.

I love this picture! And you’re right, Paige is an amazing photographer! I’m sure her present will be teaching you all you’ll ever need to know about the camera.

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday! I just discovered your blog (which is adorable — I love your Love Coop!) and wanted to say “hi” from one Missoulian to another. Also, your Bug (and her blog) is just about the most beautiful human creature I’ve ever seen outside of real life, as it were. I am currently feeling baby fever, though, so I’m probably particularly vulnerable to her charms! 🙂

We got our “nice” camera in January. I still don’t know how to do anything fancy or special with it. Some day I’ll have time to figure it out. Right???

Kelle: You pictures are an inspiration so I hope I can take some photos that are remotely interesting to you!

Katie: thanks!

Beth: Always love to know more Montana bloggers…seems like there aren’t a ton of us!

Lera: Woman, you have so much going on but you always seem to get an amazing amount done! So the camera figuring out will come some day, I am certain.

judybusy: There will definitely be antics….

Chux: It is great to hear from you! OK. The camera is a Canon Rebel XT 8MP SLR with EF-S 18-55mm, f3.5-5.6 Lens! yay. Now I just need to find time to dork out with it!

Oh my gosh, what a babe you are! Love the wedding food story and I am majorly impressed that you made food for that many people. Holy prep work, but what satisfaction!

Excellent site you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any user discussion forums that cover the same topics talked about here? I’d really love to be a part of community where I can get feedback from other experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Thanks! designer swimwear http://wholesale-lingerie.webnode.com/
