Welcome!

A few months ago I decided that I absolutely had to have a new fancy schmancy camera.  At the time, I was working on an occasional basis for a coworker just to make some extra spending money for myself so I decided to use that extra cash and got myself a Canon DSLR camera.  The only problem, I had no clue how to use the darn thing.  That was okay though, I figured that I would take a class and learn to use all of the different manual features. 

During that time however, things became a little hectic and I never got to take that class.  My husband was applying and interviewing for new positions so I didn't want to enroll in a class if there was a chance that we'd be moving soon.  Sure enough, we did move--to California!!

We've been here in CA for almost two months and now that things have settled down, I figured that it's time I start putting this camera (and the additional lens and the fancy camera bag that I have since had to have) to good use.  So basically the purpose of this blog is to track my progress at taking better photos and also to give you all a glimpse into our lives here in California!

Keep in mind, I still haven't taken that class--hopefully someday I will get around to it!
