Christmas Joy

What an amazing day!  We had our staff Christmas party this morning at Saint Child and it was so much fun to just hang and laugh with those ladies.  Then I went to my other job and a much anticipated package had arrived.  For Christmas this year a little elf sent me a Canon Rebel SLR digital camera!  I was so excited I just stared at the box and attempted to work for an hour.  Once my cohort Lynn arrived I dove in and out came the prettiest black box I had ever seen.  I set it on the desk in front of me and proceeded to hug it as if it was my first born child!  After about 5-10 minutes of that I finally opened the box.  A REAL CAMERA!!!  I can’t believe it I feel so grown up.  When I got home I finally had time to take pictures and the auto focus wasn’t working, my heart sunk.  So I jumped in my car and ran up to the Geek Squad and get a geek who knows nothing about cameras!  After a few heart stopping moments he tells me that he will have to send it back.  My heart plummets to the ground.  Then a Christmas miracle he takes the lens off blows on it and I say a quick pleading prayer.  THE CAMERA WORKS!  Hallelujah Praise The Lord!!  After a short trip to Fred Meyer to get a bag for it and a memory disk I get home and realize it didn't work cause I hadn’t put the lens on right….much blushing!!  I then spent the rest of the reading up on it and taking pictures.  I was like a kid in a candy store.

My friend Lynn had a great idea, stolen from her mother.  I should do a picture a day.  Not only will I have to take pictures every day, but I will also blog daily!  Another great idea.  So here is my first, literally!!

I was too lazy to get up so I took several pictures of my tea cup!!  HAHAHAHA

Then I moved to the Christmas trees!  How fun!!

Then I spent about 20 minutes trying to get this picture, I started on the floor moved up on the table and then the buffet, and I couldn’t get it clear.  This is my picture of the day.  I thought it quite fitting since it is my life verse ( even though it is missing the most important word “Lord”)!

I’m not happy with it but i know it is a start!  Merry Christmas!
