My mother, the best mommy there ever was, gave me two amazing gifts for passing the Bar Exam. The first was a brand new DSLR camera, and an even better one than the one I was planning to buy for myself someday. I am now the very proud owner of a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi. And so far, I loooove it! Thank you so much Mommy! I love you!
The second gift was a date night for Josh and I. We have been so broke that we haven’t had a night out without Eleanor in nine months. So, my mom gave us some cash and stayed with Eleanor for the evening on Saturday night.
It was strange at first to leave the house together without Eleanor, but really nice not to have to worry about bringing a stocked diaper bag, snacks in my purse, and toys to distract her. And it was very nice to go out to a movie. We haven’t been to a movie since the aforementioned date nine months ago. We saw Star Trek and loved it. It was soooo much fun! I highly recommend it. We filled ourselves with candy, a six dollar small popcorn, and a bucket-sized soda!
After the movie we went to dinner at an Italian restaurant next to the theater. We sat outside because the weather was so nice. Here are some pictures via my shiny new camera.
The camera is so nice with so many fantastic megapixels that I suddenly noticed that I have wrinkles. And at the ripe old age of 27. I blame Eleanor for the smile lines and the Bar Exam for the furrowed brow lines.
After dinner we headed over to Menchie’s (where else) for dessert.
The parking lot had pretty lights strung up that we never noticed before because we’ve only been in the daylight.
Did I mention that I love my new camera?!

awesome. Yay for nice cameras and yay for date nights …
Did you still want to borrow that photography book I have?
When you decide to buy another lens or two, make sure you invest in GOOD ones. SOO worth the investment (even if it is a $500 difference).
Lucky girl! So jealous of your new camera. Have fun with it. My savings jar for my camera isn’t making much progress. I’ll have to enjoy your photos for now.
