so, tomorrow, january 25 is my 29th birthday. EEEEEEEEEEE!! and although i don't really care about it this year, it seems everyone else does. which makes this girl feel SO SPECIAL!!! my birthday started last saturday, with my surprise CANON REBEL!! and it has kept on going ever since!
on saturday, before annie's couples shower, i came home to this amazing surprise. a new camera! i have been using an old nikon point and shoot that i bought in may 2010 (right before gloria and david's wedding!) and with the start of the new business and such, i thought it would be awesome to get a new, nice camera. i had asked oliver about it, and he said no, its just too much money, so we started looking on craigslist. i was disappointed but totally understood. then, i ran over to michael's to get some more crafts for the party, and here was my surprise!! a new canon rebel T3i and an amazing lens to go along with it! now i don't really know what all this means yet, but my good photographer friend katie lamb tells me that this is legit. especially for my first "grown up" camera. YAY!
then, after the camera surprise, oliver told me since he got me the camera i would have to give up my original birthday present. i happily agreed. i mean, seriously! what could be better than the camera??? but then here came the kicker "i originally got us 4 FLOOR GEORGE STRAIT tickets, but now we can only keep 2."
Um.
BEST HUSBAND EVER!!!!
and it doesn't end there. on tuesday night, something small came in the mail. he opened it, walked into the living room where i was hanging out with rachael watching dance moms, and gave me my 3rd birthday present. a gift card for some new shoes!!!! i have been doing crossfit off and on since oct 2011 and i haven't bought new shoes since...god only knows when. so holy cow! i was so excited!

then last night, a package came in the mail for me! and it was, admittedly something i ordered for myself, but sephora is awesome and threw in some birthday surprises too. so boo-yah. another birthday present.
and then today, thursday, my mom came to visit me at work and bring me lunch. (jason's wrap. yum!) and she brought me some flowers and an awesome spaghetti squash from trader joes! (we have a trader joes thing. you wouldn't understand.)
so, all in all, pretty amazing birthday so far you guys. and its not even my birthday yet! i'll post more about this weekend's festivities i'm sure they will be amazing!
Happy birthday and congrats on your camera!! I was super intimidated when I first got my DSLR and waited a whole month to take it out of the box. Still figuring things out, but love it!
