DId a little moving across country.

Its been awhile since I uploaded any photos here. But, my daughter and I took on the long 2 days of driving to Nashville, TN. We stayed for 2 weeks but ended up moving on to Florida where we are now for the past couple months getting settled. I've been out of work a couple months now. Finally found a job but in the past few days have really seen more improvements in my photos which is exciting. I'm hoping to squeeze a few new "toys" in my tax refund budget. I'd love to get a new lens but also want a speedlite perhaps and some more background paper and maybe a stand or can build one, plus I've been using trial of the Adobe Lightroom 2.2 and really love it... so not sure I want to shell out $300 for it though especially when that can go towards a nice new lens. Lots of decisions!
