What a weekend!

[Vania16]

Wow, this was an exciting weekend at our house - I made two big purchases I've been looking at for a long time! First, I got our plane tickets for a trip to Michigan to visit my family this summer - we can go out on the boat, hang out at the beach and generally just enjoy a little time with family! We've been wanting to go for several years, so I'm really happy it's finally happening! I see the fam at Christmas time every year, but it's so much nicer there in summer!

Second, I finally bought myself a Canon Rebel XT! I've been wanting an SLR for some time and finally bit the bullet :) I've been playing with for the last couple of days - there's so much to learn! But, it's taking beautiful photos already and I love how fast it is! Woohoo!

Can't wait to see photos :)
It sounds like you had a great weekend. So great that you finally can do what you have wanted for years :)

Oh lucky you (on both counts!!!) :crazy:

But I'm so jealous.... I'm eyeing the DSLRs too... can't afford them right now (DH says that when I finally start making money from my scrapping, that I can buy one)... unfortunately, just creating LOs doesn't pay very well! lol

Have a blast practicing... post some pics too!!

Wow! 2 wonderful news!

I can't wait to see your photos with it. Take a little time to adjust but I wouldn't return to a point and shot.

Enjoy!
