Okay, I have good news and bad news.

The good news is that I have saved up almost $2000 from my photography "side job". That is a HUGE accomplishment for me. Money burns a hole in my pocket unbelievably fast. I am so proud of myself, not only for hanging on to the money, but also for making it in the first place. I absolutely love photography, but it has been difficult for me to charge people to do it. I almost feel badly for charging money to do something I enjoy so much.

But, I digress... the bad news is that I want/need a new camera. a Nikon D700 to be exact. It costs $2200. Yep, I have saved up almost enough to buy this amazing piece of equipment. I have been saving for months to buy this new camera, but now I feel guilty for not putting the money I have saved towards our weLiveFIT goal. I know that the camera will help me to move my photography to the next "professional" level, but I am torn about not being super intense towards our family goal. Any advice would be appreciated...

On another note, David came home this weekend after completing his LAST class!! To celebrate we went to lunch as a family. No, not to a super expensive restaurant, we went to McDonald's. To be more specific, the McDonald's in Wal-Mart on Buck-Lake Road. No sooner did we sit down to enjoy our cheap lunch date, then our coach Warren walked by. I'm sure he was wondering why we were eating out instead of making lunch at home, but rest assured it could have been a whole lot worse than MickyD's meals for 4!!
