Springy Boston Goodness...

Even though it's a little grey outside today, this is how I feel in my heart! Sunny, with gorgeous flowers/trees blooming. I think I could honestly live in perpetual Spring...mmmm sounds nice. And if I could live in perpetual Spring in Boston?!? Are you kidding me?? Heaven! While we were there a few weeks ago, Zach and I had a chance to go to Newbery Street for a few hours, without Aubrey, to just stroll around at our leisure and take pictures....and take pictures I did! I love that when we are not worrying about a 3 year old(that still feels weird to say!) when we're out, Zach is so relaxed with my picture taking meandering. So patient when I sit at the same magnolia tree for about 10 minutes getting every angle of their blooming goodness. What a good man ;) I can't believe how my love for photography has grown in the past months. I never thought that I'd become so addicted and obsessed! It feels like every post I do it is bursting with the results of my can't-choose-just-one-picture-so-I-post-them-all-itis! Oh well, I personally am not a fan of blogs that don't have at least one picture to accompany their post, I'm just visual like that ;) I feel like God has given me this desire and passion for photography and I'm not sure where it will lead, but I'm happy just to practice ALL THE TIME!



Speaking of photography... I bought my first lens yesterday!!! I went into the city with my best photography buddy, Amy :), and we went to B&H! Speaking of heaven! Oh man, so amazing...and intimidating! I felt like such a rookie in the midst of all those pros, but we end up talking with the guy behind the counter(who was SO helpful and just downright funny!) for almost an hour and ended up with the perfect "creeper" zoom lens for me:) I'm so excited, it's being shipped as I type and I CAN'T WAIT to get my hands on it! If you live in the NYC area, I totally recommend going there, even if you are not into photography....seriously the place is nuts and I could have just sat on a bench and watched the goings on! I could go on and on about this, but I'll stop myself there...but seriously...go! Wow...that turned into a random post!

How did you end up with such a patient husband?!? Maybe it's because you had such a difficult life. Anyways, your pictures are fabulous. Love, love. Good eye Jen. You're a gifted girl!! :)
