Default I haz nikon dslr!!!!!

So, as most of you know I've been watching and waiting and saving for my DSLR. Well, I've been watching Amazon, and every site has gone back up to $649. So I told my husband, I'll just get it from the PX. The PX is the only "retailer" that I've seen that has it in stock, and I could get it tax free and no shipping charges. So today, we went and got it finally! I still purchased some stuff from Amazon. Got an 8GB SD card, a camera backpack, a DSLR cleaning kit, and a UV filter. I'm SO happy!!!! I have the greatest Hubby, who let me get this, and is willing to wait on what he wants for X-mas. Which is A LOT cheaper than my camera. Just had to share and let everyone know my patience and perseverance has paid off. :P

I totally forgot about my sig. Thanks,... and I've got all the paperwork from the box spread out over my desk right now. I finally figured out what the Ferrite Cores are for. Thanx to Google.

First shot taken with it. The obligatory Test Shot, to make sure everything works right out of the box. And my Hubby had to pick at me, so the shot was of him. I didnt try to be creative or use any lick of anything that I think I know. Just pointed it at him, and pressed shutter realease. Too lazy to upload to Flickr right now,.. so you get Thumbnail.
