Compromise

Compromise can be a wonderful thing if followed through. A few years ago I compromised with Richard that he bought me a manicure/pedicure set that I would do my own nails and not have them done anymore more. This compromise did not last. I have yet to use the kit and Richard still makes fun of me today. Who can resist a pedicure at a spa? I know that I can't. In hindsight it probably was not a realistic compromise knowing how much I liked pedicures becuase someone massages, cuts and paints to toes.

Fast forward to this past week. I have really been wanting a Digital SLR camera but I know they were expensive so I was not pushing. I teased that it would be my first purchase when I go back to work. We started talking about it more and more and then he started sending me information. Before you know it I was begging for one (not really begging but REALLY wanting one now). So we compromised. He said that I could get it if we rolled all our change and if I did not get anymore professional pictures done since the new camera would be more than enough to take GREAT pictures. I was all over it. I rolled all our change. It definetly adds up. I started looking around at prices to see what was out there.

Saturday morning came around and we had some errands to run; Richard suggested stopping by Best Buy (bad idea, that place is dangerous) while we were out. We got there and an hour or so later walked out with a new camera and a bunch of goodies for it. I got the camera of my dreams. I will not need another camera for MANY years if ever. I got the Canon Rebel xTi and so far I LOVE it.

I will post pictures as I learn how to take better pictures and load them on the computer. For know we have a few hundred shots of Evelyn that are spectacular. I can't wait to print them.

Here's a link to the camera:

Good Night to all.
