Inaugural

I finally ordered myself a new lens for my camera.

I was more than happy to use my "telephoto" exclusively, but I also wanted to explore my camera's options a little more fully.

So, I bought myself a prime lens.  A 50mm prime lens, to be exact.

These are the inaugural photos.  The color is off, and the focus, probably, but I don't really care.  I was just having fun.  And my subject was more than willing to have his dinner interrupted for a little while.

Sunday Sunset

Looky Looky!

Look what I did!

It's Party Time!

Oh my goodness! It's party time again, and I haven't decorated, or styled my hair, or even blogged in forever!

Oh, well. What you see is what you get, I suppose.

I'm Hillary, aka Mrs. Einstein. I'm a former English teacher with a math degree married to a former math teacher with an English degree.

I know. Don't bother figuring that one out. It's just how we roll around here.

Mr. Einstein and I will have been married 10 years this August. We have produced three children together, two girls and a boy: E is 6 years old, C is almost 3 years old, and M is 16 months old.

I'm currently a SAHM and a student. I have hopes of opening my own Etsy shop someday soon. I'm really interested in becoming a certified doula. I'm the women's ministry leader at my church.

I love to read and make cards. I love to cook and bake. I make my own laundry soap.

Ants are my nemesis; I take it personally when they get into my house.

My current obsession is my new camera, a Nikon D5000. It's a fantastic camera! I'm really loving dabbling in photography. I just don't have the time to devote to it, though I'd really like to get more into it.

Well, that's me in a nutshell. Thank you for stopping by!

Happy partying!
