YEAH MON, IRIE!

At the beginning of April just as the Winter cold was getting harder and harder to handle, I had the wonderful opportunity to watch my friends (and old neighbors), Matt & Jenn, tie the knot in JAMAICA!! I've never been there before let alone a hotel like the one we stayed in, so I was quite impressed to say the least.


Riding through town from the airport to the resort definitely brought back some pretty vivid memories of the DR. Seeing the young students walking home from school, I desperately wanted to hang out with them, but we made it to the hotel and with a full schedule (of snorkeling, kayaking and scuba) and wonderful company to hang out with, we enjoyed being around friends and didn't make it into town. Maybe next time! :)


The wedding was beautiful, Weather was beautiful and we learned our new favorite word, Irie!

As soon as we stepped off the plane...I can get used to that!

 

 The Groom!

And the beautiful Bride!

Happy couple

 Yours Truly :)

So sad to leave!

I'VE HAD MY EYE ON IT

For so long now I've been drooling over a Nikon Digital SLR camera. So expensive, but so amazing. I went from [wanting] the D80 to [wanting] the D90 over the past couple years, to April of this year when I decided I was finally going to break down and treat myself. But I still couldn't bring myself to actually purchasing the darn thing! I think I was afraid of buyers remorse, or afraid that I had to be some super duper photographer to warrant spending the money on it.


But that is not true, and if I'm still in love with the camera after two years, then it's totally worth it. So Saturday night I became the proud new owner of the Nikon D5000.

I'm sooo excited; it's amazing and I don't even know how to barely use it yet! I'm excited to find a beginners photo class and even more excited to start 'Photo Hikes' with my sweet friend Jaime.
