I’m so sad it’s already over!!! Christmas was great this year, Dave and I had our Christmas together on Sunday morning the 21, since we would both be going home to our parents that week. Dave surprised me with the most amazing gift…. a Nikkor (Nikon) 70-300mm lens for my D60!!!! I had NO idea… I thought it would be a few YEARS before I could graduate/afford to a professional lens like that, but I LOVE IT and got a lot of use out of it over Christmas! (More pics to come soon).
I went home to Kingwood on Christmas Eve. It was a quiet Christmas day for our family again this year, as it was just my mom, Skip, and I on Christmas morning! That afternoon we shared a special Christmas lunch with our awesome neighbors Melissa and Erik (and Melissa's parents from Ohio). Melissa made an AMAZING spread, including tons of appetizers, personal shrimp cocktails in crystal glasses (I was so impressed!!!) and fabulous prime rib!!! Melissa planned the entire lunch out, even decorating the table with place cards, ornaments, presents… it was beautiful!
My brother, sister in law, and Ellie came to Kingwood on Friday to stay with us for the weekend, we had so much fun! Ellie is at such a fun age, she talks ALL the time, and can recite her Disney movies for you… its hilarious! Plus she allowed me to photograph her all weekend! Having my new lens, and learning a lot about my camera from my sister in law made me so excited about having my own photography business one day! I still have a lot to learn, but I am SO excited! I plan to start building my portfolio over the next year, and maybe acquiring a copy of Photoshop so I can become savvy with that as well!
Having a few days away from the office was so nice, it was very hard to get back into the swing of things today. (Hence, why I am blogging while I should be working : ) ) Especially since I have another mini vacay coming up. Dave and I fly out to Phoenix on Saturday morning for the Fiesta bowl! We will be gone until Tuesday, but I am so excited to get away for a few days! We may drive up to the Grand Canyon one day, or Sedona, we’re not sure yet. I’m a little apprehensive about the plane ride… so if you get around to it, say a little prayer for me on Saturday morning : )
Hope to get all my pics off the camera today! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you!!!
