SICK :(

My end of the year blog challenge is on hold until next weekend.. I have been sick since Christmas eve.. Finally got into the doctor today and found out its Bronchitis.  I have felt drained and my oxygen levels were low so he prescribed me an inhaler.. So far I have made it through this part of the day without a fever, fingers crossed!

Holidays! (Pictures)

I am so sorry!  This was my last week at work before shutdown so I was extremely busy, then I had Christmas at my dads on Saturday then went to Lexington late last night and didnt get home until after 11.  My sister asked me to stay with her, I always tell her no so I figured since it was near the holidays I would.  I ended up sleeping on the couch and kept Kingston (almost 4 months old) and I finally fell asleep at 1:30 after feeding him, then I put him back in his swing and he slept until 5:30-6:00 and he woke up and I fed him and changed his diaper then crashed until my sister and the kids woke up at 8:30 ish.  So I had to drag myself off the couch and I cooked bacon, eggs, hashbrowns and biscuits and gravy, it was so yummy!  So anyways it was a lot of running and visiting family and then a LONG nap that was much needed, (My sister decided it would be funny to snap a very unflattering picture of me and my newphew asleep and she posted it to facebook.) Since I have been away I have been working on my Photography and editing skills, so here are a few photos I love :)!  Merry Christmas!

New Camera!

I finally have gotten my first ever DSLR today.. I have always been a picture person, I live in a fairly rural town so to get to Lexington I drive the scenic horse farm roads which takes about 30 minutes or less and the whole way I think a million times, that would be a good picture.. Over and over again.  I have up to this point had my Canon SD750 which I honestly love and would even dare to say it takes DSLR worthy photos at times!  Everyone ALWAYS compliments my camera! So when my mom asked me what I wanted this year for Christmas I told her that I wanted an Entry Level DSLR, so I now have a Nikon D3100.  I think a lot of people would be shocked to know that I purchased a Nikon because I have always been a big suporter of Canon, but the nikon had MUCH better reviews than the T3i.  But I worked some overtime today at work so I got up at 3:30 this morning and got to work at 5:25 and worked till 11:00 so I played around with it while the kids were still asleep, and tried to get a good grasp on it.  Here are some of my pictures playing with the Shutter and apperature and such..
