An Unexpected Gift...

This past weekend, while at her apartment, I was surprised with my wedding gift from Laura (early of course). I wasn't expecting anything from her, let alone something early so this was a complete surprise! Last month I had given Laura a Barnes & Noble Nook as her birthday gift/wedding gift (my parents all chipped in as well to further dilute the impact on my finances) since I had promised her that I would not spend much for her birthday. Regardless, I was not expecting a gift at all, and was confused when she said that she wanted to give it to me early so I could learn how to use it. It all made sense when I opened the gift.

She had gotten me a new digital camera! I was so excited! I had wanted a new one for a long time since mine was about seven years old and was about the size of a camcorder. Also working off of a comment I had made about loving panoramic pictures, she got me the new Sony Cybershot (the one that Taylor Swift advertises for). Here are a few of my first shots...

Seven... always so cute... and for some reason looks drugged here.

Another panoramic of the Finance Office at work. The blue stuffed monkey on top of Ruth's desk is aptly name Charles after I lost to her at the water gun race in Ocean City. Perhaps I had been a little too cocky about my abilities... it was splitting hairs though and I anxiously await a rematch. She has said "Bring it on! I need another one to name Laura!"

Now I really need to win to keep my fiance's name off a tacky carnival stuffed animal...
