My husband got my birthday present in the mail! My birthday is not until November 11th(eleven, eleven it’s easy to remember), so this made me a little worried he would decide to not let me know what it was or have at until then!

Patience is not one of my strengths.

I was at the computer in the dining room and he decided to open the package in our living room(just a few feet away). “Don’t look” he said.

Is he kidding?

I am good so I did not look.

Then I start hearing this, “WOW, it is a lot heavier then I thought.” and “I wonder how this works” I started yelling that I was going to look if he did not cut it out!

Then he said, “I guess I could give it to you now but then you would not have anything to open for your birthday.”

“That is okay, we are going hiking for my birthday.” I was trying to sound all calm but I really wanted to have my gift NOW!

Did I mention I am horrible at waiting(pregnancy was not fun for me, 9months of waiting!)?

So finally he brings over a card reader and sets it in front of me. “Here you go.”

Then then a little bit later he asks for my camera, still not letting me see what else he got.

Then he said, “smile”! While taking a picture of me with my new lens!!!

I was jumping up and down and squealing!

What can I say? I like camera equipment!

The only problem was that it was nap time and all my subjects were asleep.

It was the first time I was happy when one of them woke up early!

It had nothing to do with the fact I kept going in their room.

I got to have some fun while hiking this morning! For all the camera buff’s out there. It is a 50mm 1.4!

I am in love.

The end.
