Easter and Birthday Weekend

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend! Not sure if any of you even noticed my brief hiatus, but I've been in Blowing Rock, NC since Thursday. My mom and I went for the weekend to celebrate my birthday. As of 10:15 tonight, I officially turned 23 years old. Still not exactly sure how I feel about that, (I'm getting so old, and I'm so not a fan of odd numbers) but I'm thankful for another year and hopefully many more!

I took this weekend as an opportunity to test out my new camera in a different setting. I'm definitely no expert, and I'm still learning, but I'm having so much fun discovering what all this camera can do. Let me know what you think!

It's Finally Here!

You know how in most of my picture posts, the pictures are pretty crappy quality at best? And you know how I keep saying better pictures are coming your way soon? Y'all probably thought I was lying or just blowing smoke. Then the best thing happened the other day, this little beauty arrived on my front porch! Yes, the Canon EOS Rebel T3i is officially mine after months and months of drooling over it. My mom is the sweetest for getting this for me for an early birthday present. I can't wait to learn more about it and start taking some seriously awesome photos!
