"cheeeeese."

If you know me, you also know my love for photography. And you might also know how big of a clutz I am! These two things definitely do not go hand in hand. I have had 4 digital cameras and broke all 4 of them in the past 5 years. :( That being said- we are camera-less right now!! Which is not okay with me. We have one camera that we are using right now that is ions old {read: you actually have to look through the viewfinder to take a picture.} SO, we have decided that we are going to splurg on a good camera for our Christmas gift to each other! {YAY!}

I have wanted a digital SLR SO bad for SO long and I can't believe my dream is finally coming true! However, as much as I would love to shell out $3,000 for my dream one- that's not happening quite yet. So, we are looking into DSLR's in the lower price range, with high quality shots. Right now, this is number one on our list....

The Canon Digital Rebel XSI 12MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. Yes I do realize that that may sound like jibberish to you, but it's good- I swear. ;) And this camera has rave reviews! I am pumped!! Now I just have to decide between silver or black... hmmmmmm.

happy thoughts.

I've kind of been a grouch lately, but here a few things that made me happy today...

01. Pre-ordering our Twilight tickets today for the midnight showing on Nov. 20th!!!!

02. My absolutely, undeniably amazing husband. I could go on and on but I will spare you….

03. It’s Friday—that goes without saying.

04. Listening to this over and over again. Can you tell I really can’t wait to have the actual soundtrack next Tuesday? {thanks to whoever recorded it!}

05. And of course my munchkin in his Halloween costume!
He's 'G the Bumble Bee!'

Happy Halloween!

our life is not a movie or maybe.

Last night's Tree Hill was perhaps one of my favorite's of the season. I will have to watch it again to be sure {I was a bit distracted} but I just thought that it was awesome. I loved the opening scene of everyone at the Slamball game watching {read:cringing} at Nathan.

Jamie made some of the cutest faces sitting there watching his dad play. It was even more obvious the next morning that he was really worried:
This scene was so flipping cute! Not to mention a shirtless-Nathan. Yep, that defintiely makes it complete!

And I loved Haley and Milly picking on Brooke about Owen the next day too. I can't wait for her and Owen to finally give it a try again.

Then there's Julian. I knew that something was up with him right off the bat. And doesn't he have a striking resemblance to Lucas?? Hmmmm....

I am getting really sick of GiGi already. She needs to back off ASAP. Milly rules.

Finally some brotherly love. I have missing Lucas/Nathan scenes, and this one didn't disappoint.

I really enjoyed this scene too. I really miss Q and it's nice that are still including him in so many storylines.

And of course a Brucas scene, finally. Don't get me wrong- I am 100% Team Leyton, but I love Lucas and Brooke's friendship. It was really cute:

This was one of my favorite parts. Nathan telling Mouth not to mess around flirting with other girls except your wife/girlfriend. Things sure have come a long way. I hope Mouth listens to him. I loved it when he said Milly's a rockstar! :)

This was so cute too! Jamie's sleepover! I was really happy to see Sam fitting so well into the picture.

I about died from laughter when Owen peeked his head into this scene! How hilarious! I am glad that Brooke is giving him a chance.

Did I mention that I am loving Brooke's hair more & more. Hmm....

This scene takes the cake. "Bow chicka bow wow...." Haha!

But I was even more glad to see it come to life. :)

I had to throw this in because it's hilarious:

Meanwhile their son was having a raging time at Brooke's store!! Little did they know...
Or Brooke:

I felt so bad for her when she saw what Sam had done. But of course even more devestated when they showed Peyton's dress....
I was glad that Sam felt bad.

And I loved how Brooke handled everything. She rocked last night.
And last, but certainly not least, Julian and Peyton. I feel so bad for Peyton. What did she do to his guy that he felt the need to force himself into her life again. She has been so happy...

And poor Lucas. UGH.

This will be very interesting....

Speaking of last night's tv, I have to comment on Gossip Girl!!!! I am a fan or GG and have seen every epi, just not always right away- but tivo always helps me catch up. I really like a lot of the storylines and characters {mainly Dan & Serena} but sometimes things just get out of hand-- Chuck and Blair mostly. But I still like it. I just have to comment about Jenny and Nate. I LOVE them together. When Nate walked into that Max guy's house and saw Jenny there like that, my knees seriously buckled. And let's not forget when they finally kissed!!!!!! Ahhhhh!!!!! I am so, so, so, so happy! And if the writers do anything to screw this up, I will be furious! If we can't have Dan & Serena- they better leave Jenny & Nate alone. :) YAY! So hot...

UPDATE: Even better yet-- I found the video of their first kiss. :) I hope that you saw the entire episode though, because their chemistry is so amazing:
