Day 27: Surprise!

Today was.. fantastic? Yes. Superb? Yes. Awesomely amazing? Yes. Completely a surprise? Pretty much! Today was freaking sensational. My dad and I made our way down to Austin (one of my absolute favorite cities..the place is simply amazing) to go to a camera store a local photography shop had told us to visit because my DSLR completely stopped taking photos this past December (took me long enough to get there, amiright?). Bad news: my camera's completely shot, apparently the light sensor has died and it was going to cost $250-300 to repair. Not really worth it when that's half the price the camera was originally. Good Fantabulous news: my parents bought me a new camera!! It was a complete and utter surprise, I honestly thought we'd just go down there, see if they could fix it for a reasonable price, then go run some errands, grab lunch and come back. Well, we did do those other things, but with a brand spankin' new Canon T3 along for the ride with us. I'm quite excited! My future father-in-law has a Canon and a ton of lenses, so I'll be experimenting a lotttt.

After that wonderful adventure, we headed over to a paper store to order the wedding invitations, I already had the design made up, I just needed fancy paper to put it on -- they'll be in, in about a week, I'm so stoked! We then headed to a couple of thrift stores and a local boutique that I spotted on our way to the paper store, I picked up a sweet purse, a skirt, and a dress for either a bridal shower or the rehearsal dinner, I can't decide which one yet. But, I'll show them at some point! I know, I know, I'm not supposed to spend money for another 3 days..but I don't know when I'll be making another trip to Austin soon, so I decided to just go for it. Plus, they were fantastic deals.

This is what I wore on this awesome day:

Just so y'all know, scarves are pretty new to me. I don't know if I've said that before, probably have, but I love how much they make outfits better. I've been obsessed with this scarf for a while, but I didn't really know how to wear it..I think I've figured it out. Apparently scarves have a learning curve? ha. But, this was a really comfortable outfit, fit for riding in a car for a couple of hours, walking around ATX, and eating at my favorite restaurant, Razzoo's (yummm, cajun!)

I'm gonna go mess with my camera now, happy Saturday!
