A Fieldtrip Mom...

Last month I went on a field trip with Nick's class to the Explorer Park that is nestled in the Blue Ridge Mts. It showcased how the city of Roanoke was back in the 18th century. Oh and along the way Nick was quite smitten with his classmate, Abby.

Just today, I went along on another fieldtrip to Johnson's Farm(/Orchards/Winery). It was quite warm but we managed to dodge the showers! Nick finally decided to feed the goats...he seemed scared at first UNTIL he saw ABBY doing it.Hmmm?

You can't tell but this goat only has 3 legs! He moved so fast I didn't get a good shot of it. The farm also has a cat with only 3 legs...his name, TRIPOD! Cute huh.

And of course a horse(miniture).

Nick and Abby. He stuck to her like a magnet! I think he forgot I was there during some parts of the day:-) So cute aren't they.

I've Hit A Milestone ...

Yes, I've made it to the Big 5 Year mark at Old Navy,Gap Inc. I get to order really nice watch and I get a plaque! I can't believe I made it...that's the longest I've ever worked for a company! I think the next business I want to work for is studioKathome ...I hear she's really creative!:-)

If I only got paid $85,939 - $138,095 for being a MOM

A MOM's SALARY.
Maybe if I got paid ,my house would be cleaner!?!?!?

Guess what I'm getting...

an early Mother's Day gift!

A 50 mm f/1.8D AF for my Nikon D50. I'm quite excited! A fair amount of people say you get a lot of "bang" for your buck! I cant wait to see the difference in sharpness! It will be a while till I get it (like a week a least!) UGG! I'll be sure to post some pictures to see if you can tell the difference:-) It will be challenging using a "fixed" lens and having to move my body in and out instead of the lens! Till then, happy picture taking:-)
