I have a feeling this may be more sporadic than I thought. :) Oh well.
So, I just have to say that I have THE most AMAZING boyfriend ever! First off I am just very blessed to have him in my life. :)

My awesome camera! (Taken with my digital camera)
He let me open my Christmas present early this year which was pretty awesome. Now before I tell you what it was I just have to say he was dropping some pretty elusive tips. I'm not going to lie I was a bit suspicious that it was something else. When he says something like "I splurged this year" and "You will be so excited, you have been wanting this for a while" you begin to imagine something circular and sparkly if you know what I mean ;).

When I opened my gift I still cried! He got me a vintage camera! :) I have been really into photography and just mentioned once that I was looking for a cool vintage camera. The one he got was a Rollei 35 which is the "2nd smallest 35mm camera ever made". The camera came complete with about 14 different kinds of film including black and white, expired (which makes it look like those Instagram pictures on the vintage settings... but more legit), and even some basic film that is for messing around with.
Jarom and I were able to take the camera out and have some fun with it.

I still need a little more practice, especially since I'm so used to the modern digital cameras that do all the work for you. (We are so spoiled. Remotes that change the channel for us so we don't have to get up, spell checkers on our computer so we don't have to know how to spell -which I am a terrible speller-, and anything imaginable that is automatic.)

Here are some pictures that I took with my AWESOME new camera! Thanks Jarom! :) I LOVE YA!!
I'm still getting used to the manual settings so don't judge too hard ;).
1st picture. O, Christmas Tree! :)

Jarom in his new shirt.
I think I over exposed this one, but I LOVED the effect! :)

Testing close shot

The lighting was so amazing around 8:30 am. 

Jarom and I
We used the flash and it was SUPER BRIGHT! But again I love the effect.
It feels like an old picture I would see of my Grandma in the 70's.
