We both need to learn 'we can't take it with us' and enjoy our purchases.
I think that's my problem Janet. I'm a saver and a planner so it feels strange to just spend so much money.

Now that this stuff is out of the way, we will be saving much more aggressively for a down payment on a home. I can't imagine how happy (and worried) I'll be when we sign the paperwork for a house if buying a camera makes me feel this guilty! lol

Marilyn, here's my new camera:

I'm so excited about having an IS lens. It makes a huge difference in quality. I'll eventually get an even better lens if I keep doing weddings, but for now, this one will do just fine. There are lots of improvements between my current camera and this one, but it's all technical stuff that probably wouldn't mean much to those who aren't really into photography.
