Happy 15th Anniversary to Me!

I have seriously been wanting a DSLR camera for a couple of years now, and with our 15 year anniversary coming up, I was very hopeful. 

Our anniversary came without fanfare, basically a typical Thursday in our household.

We celebrated it today (a day later) by going out to dinner and spending some quality time together.

Jay, being the ever so pleasing hubby that he is, sneaked away this morning and bought me the camera that I have been looking at.  I have been playing with it all day. 

Below is a sample of the pictures I took today. 

Don't judge, I am very new at trying to figure out how it works.

Still working on getting the focus down.

(These are in desperate need of cleaning.)
 I received the solitary diamond engagement ring in May 1996, the band in May 1997, the wrap of 6 smaller diamonds in May 2004, and the camera to take this picture in May 2012.

One of my favorites taken this evening.
