I know what you're thinking. How have I managed to be blessed with several new posts on just a couple of days?

Well it's a three part answer. First, I have finally bought my new camera. I've been wanting a nice digital SLR (DSLR) for quite some time. With the completion of my long 4 weekend medical study, I recently had the money to spend on a camera. I bought a Nikon D40. It's a 6 megapixel camera that takes amazing pictures and will let me grow into the photographer I always thought I was. Thus, the source of the new pictures has been revealed.

The second reason has to do with the new software package I've started using. It is called Picasa and is made by Google. It is a picture program that interfaces perfectly with Blogger. All I have to do is click a picture I like, make a couple modifications, then click "Blog This" and it's done. If you see the little multicolor icon at the bottom of a post, you'll know I used Picasa.

The third and most important reason, I've had the time. The last couple of days have been a little slower than usual and I've been excited to show off my new pictures. Keep an eye out for upcoming blog additions: STS-117 shuttle launch (today), new tile shower (almost complete, just need to seal and silicone), and updated animal and Brandon and Krista pictures.
