jesus saves, i spend

FINALLY bought a new lens for my 40D digital SLR. I'm so pumped to use it in Italy, but I'm not so pumped about how much the lens cost...eeekk! Oh well. It was definitely worth the cost...how can I consider myself a photographer if I don't buy a new lens for such a great trip, right? Ok, I may just be trying to make myself feel better for spending so much money...but still a good investment, I say.

Besides the excitement of buying my lens, the whole day was just full of laundry and packing clothes for my trip. I'm actually very proud because I don't think I overpacked at all, which is definitely opposite of my typical traveling suitcase experience. Everything I packed for this trip is either black, creme, or some shade of grey. How exciting! Well, I do love grey...can't lie.

Kamil sent me this amazing job opportunity that he found on the internet today; an internship working for Urban Outfitters/Anthropologie/Free People. Ahh!! Talk about internship come true. It inspired me to finally finish my resume, which actually didn't take too painfully long to make, anddd itsprettyilikeit! Hehe. Oh, and check this out, so beautiful! Oh, and Kamil sent me this, too. So cool!! [My birthday is in March]

Here is the website for Jay Ryan, the awesome illustrator/poster designer/screenprinter that GDSI was fortunate enough to visit the other day. He signed my red cowboy boots! Awesome.

Still counting down the days! Five more to go...
