The big move and a new camera

As we speak Josh is driving all of our belongings (in a huge moving truck) out to California. The last time I talked to him he was just outside of Oklahoma City...so he's making progress. The plan is for Josh to put our things in storage out there while Wyatt and I stay in Birmingham, Alabama with my parents. Next week, Wyatt and I will fly (with my parents) out to Eugene, Oregon to watch my brother compete in the US Championship Track Meet. Josh will fly up and meet us there for the weekend. Then Josh, Wyatt and I will drive back down to California and spend ten days house hunting. Assuming we find a house to rent/buy, Wyatt and I will come back to Alabama and wait on Josh to fly back and drive with us out to California. Whew! Makes me tired just thinking about it.

But I am so thankful for a husband who is willing to drive cross-country twice and load and unload boxes for days on end. Especially when I am unable to help very much--being pregnant and all. So my end of the deal hasn't been all that bad. (Thanks honey!)

Anyway, because we have so many fun trips coming up, we went ahead and sprung for a new camera. We got the Nikon D90 and so far I'm loving it! It's slow going because I'm having to learn how to use it--it's not like using a point and click camera. But every picture I take gets better and better. Hopefully by the time we head to Oregon next week, I'll have it down. So here's the first official picture taken with this new, fancy camera...good thing Wyatt is a willing subject!
