I Moan, I Groan, but He really is a GREAT HUBBY!

A few months ago, I made a deal with my sweet hubby that the next time he won any money at the casino I would get to buy a new lens for my camera.  I thought this was a sure bet because that man is the luckiest man I know.  He normally wins every time he walks in the door.  And I’m not talking about 40 or 50 dollars.   Well, he went on a losing streak then quit going altogether. 

Friday night, he decided to go to the casino for a little bit.  It’s only 30 min from our house.  At 2:00 am I finally went to sleep, worried about him but exhausted.  When I woke up yesterday, he informed me that I could order my lens!!!!  He won $600 which was exactly what I needed for the lens I wanted.

 Well, being my cheapskate self, I decided that was just to much money to spend on a lens. Guess what,  he ordered it anyway!!!  I will have my new lens in about a week.  So as much as I bitch about him, he is a really good man. 

This is a picture I took of our hands in december.  I was trying out making my own apeture mask.  Those hearts are not photoshopped in.  They are the caused by christmas lights hanging in the background with a heart shaped cut-out over the front of my lens. 

Today we went to play golf.  I have only played one time in my life ever.  I really suck!!!  Hubby says I played the equivalent of 90holes because it takes me so many swings to actually hit the ball!!  I just keep looking at it as a good workout.  My arms are already sore.  My legs are getting there.  I refused to ride in the cart.  I tried to talk him out of getting one because it would be great exercise, but no go.  Suprisingly, my 9 year old daughter was pretty good.  She didn’t hit the ball far, but it was straight everytime.  And honestly, she hit it almost as far as me!

I also thought you guys might like to see a picture of my little family.  I took this before christmas to use on our card.

    That was soooo sweet of your husband! :-) You will love the new lens I’m sure. I love your family picture you have a BEAUTIFUL family! I was raised playing golf but I don’t do it much anymore! It’s sometimes really expensive too when you don’t have a free golf course in town. But VERY good exercise!

    That is so sweet! And that picture of your hands is great. I am awful at golf, so I get the most exercise from hunting down the ball.
