I am not a big goal setter.
If I want to do something I just do it.
A couple weeks ago, however, I decided that instead of just doing what I want to do, I would set a goal for myself and when I accomplished that goal, then I could do what I wanted to do.
Now I'm rambling. What did I want to do? (I know the suspense is killing you) Well....
I've been wanting this lens for my nikon D5000 for a while now, but I always feel guilty buying things for myself (especially when those things cost a couple hundred dollars). So I set a goal for myself and decided when I met my goal I could buy the lens. 9 days later I bought it!!!! Wahoo!! For once I didn't feel guilty about spending the money because I felt like I earned it.
The lens just came to my doorstep yesterday, so I haven't had too much time to play with it yet. Here are a few shots I've taken so far (keep in mind I still need practice....).
I was trying to read my Bible, but Isabella kept taking it to the fireplace to read for herself! (notice the vent under the curtains blowing air in her hair - so funny!)
This is how I find my child constantly. Eating.
Now the baby's napping, so I'll be the guinea pig.
*****On a side note, I want to take a minute to thank Allegra from My Lips in Stitches. She sent me a wonderful book this week (actually 3 books) and I am so thankful to her for her kindness and generosity. She has a great blog and a beautiful heart. Check her out sometime. You will be encouraged!
P.S : Don't forget that from now until the end of January a portion of every purchase at Bella Reagli goes to help the people of Haiti!

Really great pictures! I'm so glad you were able to get your lense so quickly :-)
I don't think I ever told you, I did get an extra lensse with mine, the 55-200, I believe it is. It goes to 200, at least. I love it! I wish I could use it all of the time. But, I have to figure out how to use the regular one better, first, lol!
You are so beautiful, I love the pictures!
