two surprises


ONE  The 50mm f/1.8 arrived yesterday; and to say the least, I am thrilled. (All photos above were taken with my new lens.)

TWO Something else I'm loving at the moment?  My new design, designed beautifully by Victoria!

  10. I am excited about only a few things, really.

    One: your lens.
    Two: your design
    Three: you.

    I love you. You are so darn special.

    p.s. may I have your baby brother?

  11. Oh, my word, Acacia! You got a 50mm. I have desperately been coveting that from every blogger I see who has one. You are now added to the list. ;) And those pictures are beautiful; the first one and your wittle, darling sibling. Awww...
    You must know, I have never been a baby lover, simple because I have no talent with the little creatures, and being the second youngest, spent hardly any time with them. Going to my church, that has all changed! Babies infest every corner of it, as well as youngsters which I have always loved. But to my complete surprise, I actually have started adoring them. Maybe not holding them yet -I am pretty pathetic- but definitely adoring them.

    Long unimportant ramble, I know.

    Anyway, your design is delightful, too. Very delightful. I obviously no expert of designing websites, but I really like the light wispy feel of your new design.

    As for me, reading your posts are pretty exciting to me. In life, though, God continually, the beach sporadically, and summer intensely.

    Love you, dear. Glad to be reading your posts once more.
    Iʻm sorry my comments are always so sparse and at random times.
    Love,
    Rebekah

    1. Thanks!! :)

      About where I bought the lens... The site I bought it off was called 'DigitalRev'. Since I Paid for it in the UK, you may not be able to get it in the states, but it's worth the try!
