Yesterday was my birthday.
I wasn’t going to mention it but since it’s past, I decided to let you in on my secret.
It was a wonderful day. My husband, friends and family spoiled me rotten…. I am a completely blessed woman. For sure!
So what did I ask for you ask? All I asked for this year from my dad (and family) and brother were gift cards to best buy…
This is so out of the ordinary for me in so many ways. J even laughed out loud yesterday when I received my gift from my brother Josh.. I think his exact words were, “A gift card for Best Buy? For you?”
Yes, it’s this strange. He even laughed a little when I explained that this was not my brother’s way of saying we need to stock up on our DVD collection for when he comes to visit in the winter… that I had specifically told him this is what I wanted.
You see I’m not one of those “technologically savvy” people. I’m just not and people know that. Yes, I can navigate my way through technology but I’m not one to go and peruse Best Buy or Circuit City.
Like Ever.
After opening my gift card, I received J’s next question, “why did you want a Best Buy gift card?”
This baby is why I want a Best Buy gift card.
I’m saving up you see. It might take me a few years but already with the generosity of my brother (thanks Josh!) I am on my way to owning this lil lady.
I’ve been doing my research and I have found that most people suggest Cannon Rebel’s for beginners… well, I definitely fit that mold so I guess I’ll start there.
However, please feel free to lend me some suggestions. I am not set on anything and I definitely would appreciate some good advice if you have any.
Oh and don’t worry, I ate about 4 cupcakes yesterday for you. I know you would have wanted them if you could have been there so I bore my burden and ate them. Just for you. Really!

Check out the Nikon D3100! That is what I got and LOVE it!! I believe the Rebel and D3100 are comparable cameras. i.e. for beginners. Woohoo, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY one day late
Thanks for the advice Casi, I’ll have to check it out! And thanks for the bday wishes
