Hubby wants a new kick-ass camera

Because sooner than we thought, we're having a little one and Vince definitely wants better pictures than this grainy one:

Well, it still took our breath away.

And with that, I'd like to say that this year may have been difficult for us all but God is faithful and good and He keeps pouring down His blessings on us all if we just open our eyes and see the wonder of His hands. Life is pretty amazing! Tomorrow is another year and, for me and Vince, we're already sure it's going to be very very different and full of endless surprises. Well, isn't each day a surprise?

One thing that continues to surprise me and make me happy is how there are so many of you reading this blog! Thank you! You've been a big part of my life, my dear Topaz Horizon readers, and now my life is about to change yet again and if you'd like to join the ride, come along, come along! And if you feel like sending my husband a spankin' brand new Olympus EP-1, why bless your heart!

Happy New Year!

28 just had to say:

WOW! congratulations! :)

anyway, i know of a trusted gadget seller at multiply who sells dslr at around 30-50% off market price!

http://dbgadgets.multiply.com/

we bought our sony t900 there for just 16,300 (28k at Sony) with a 4gb original sony memory stick and a friend bought a canon 450D for 30k (40-45k market price). Multiply is down right now so I can't check if they're also selling Olympus. :)
