New Camera!

Brandon and I made the most awesome trade on craigslist a few days ago. We traded the Nintendo Wii we hardly used for a Canon EOS SLR digital camera. Since we've gotten it we've been taking pictures non-stop. We even got Jamin to take pictures of us for our wedding invitations. The pictures are coming out so great. We're really very excited about it. I've been taking alot of pictures of Kristi's boys because they're always doing something outside and they don't really notice.











We're still learning alot about the camera and how it works. So far we've been having alot of fun with it. It's nice to find a hobby we both enjoy so much besides watching movies. This might inspire us to go outside more often. :)

As for other things that have been occupying our time, Halloween just passed so we carved pumpkins with everyone in the Needs house and with April and Jamin of course :).


Halloween seemed to last for a very long time due to Riley having his Halloween themed birthday party at the beginning of the month. We all dressed up for it so by the time Halloween actually came around, only the kids were the ones still into enough to dress up. We walked around with the kids for a little while and then went back inside to hand out candy to the trick or treaters. We got so many compliments on our pumpkin carvings it was as if no one had ever seen the books of stencils you can get at every grocery store. But hey a compliments a compliment right?

I flew to New York on the 2nd of this month in order to bring my wedding things back with me. I had to ship my dress because it was too big for me to lug through the airport. While I was out there I spent a few days with my mom. We went to see Dan in Real Life at the movie theater. I also spent some time with Lisa helping her move into her new apartment. I had a lot of fun with her and it made me wish I had planned my trip for a few extra days. The day before I left I went and did some things my dad has been wanting to do for a while. We went to see FDR's house which is about 30 minutes from where my house is. It was actually pretty interesting. It was nice to do something that he enjoyed. We then got dinner and I went back home to nap before going to Lisas and staying up through the night to meet my dad at 3 am. He drove me to the airport and we got breakfast and then it was back to Texas...and well here I am!

So I shipped all the wedding stuff I had at home to Texas and now I'm changing some of the colors around to match our black, white, and red theme. Speaking of the wedding its so close! In 41 days Brandon and I will be married :D We're so excited!
