I spent most of today’s naptime doing something I’ve never done before. I took plenty of pictures of it, but they won’t be posted until Arya’s nursery is complete and I do a big entry on that. As I was importing the pictures onto my laptop, it occurred to me that I’ve used the same camera and memory card since December of 2004. That’s almost 6 years!

The camera was a very generous Christmas gift from my boyfriend, who I’d been dating for about 6 months. At the time I was 18 years old, a sophomore in college, and living with my parents.

Six years later and I’m married to the aforementioned generous boyfriend, living 8 hours away from the rest of my family, and growing a family.

That camera lens has captured a lot of life change in the last six years. It would be amazing if it could capture six more.
