Hi Coousin

Sheer Almshouse says:
hey hon

Rootical says:
What's up?

Sheer Almshouse says:
Nothing much mi dear chile
I have finally decided on a camera and the related accessories

Rootical says:
oh finally

Sheer Almshouse says:
and i sooooooooo happy about it chile

Rootical says:
you always knew what you wanted in a camera

Sheer Almshouse says:
I even dreamt last night that I was taking pics of people in church!
i know

Rootical says:
he he he he he he he he
Amen sister

Sheer Almshouse says:
and i have been following the specs for years
and because I have waited this long, I am going to get an even better deal than if I had bought one back in 2007 with the money that I eventually had to use for replacing the mac
and it is actually TWO models up
and fantastic!

Rootical says:
oh wonderful
So it's the Nikon SLR?

Sheer Almshouse says:
of COURSE!!

Rootical says:
mi dear, I know how you feel
It's good to hear you this happy

Sheer Almshouse says:
but instead of a D200, I am getting a D700

Rootical says:
I know that a camera might seem insignificant to some
but I know how long you've wanted this

Sheer Almshouse says:
:)
and I am also going to get a video camera
later on and by the time I leave here, I should have me a mini production studio (2 pro broadcast video cameras, a FULLY suited MacBook PRO with editing software and photo editing software, and my pro digital camera.

So I will be able to produce my programmes at a much lower cost and will be a mobile production house

Rootical says:
Yippie Yay SA!

Sheer Almshouse says:
and will also be able to do fine art photography, photojournalism, and some commercial photography work. I have been hell bent on making this appointment meaningful to ME.

BTW this means that I am not moving to Dubai (at least until I finished the contract next May).

Rootical says:
SA it has already been meaningful

Sheer Almshouse says:
and that I am finishing the contract

Rootical says:
you have paid off your debts in less than a year
That is something to celebrate
eerrrrrrrrkkkkksssss!!!!!!!!!!
huh?

Sheer Almshouse says:
Easy Skanking Chef is very supportive...says he will wait..He wants me to be happy and that he has always admired that I did my own thing. Actually, I dont think i had the elation that I expected from paying off the debts

Rootical says:
Really?
I would be in ecstasy!
So does this mean tat you guys will not be getting [together] this year? Or does it mean that he will be moving to Island Behind God's Back? I'm confused!

Sheer Almshouse says:
No. It means that we both stay put. I told him that I would not be ready for [togetherness] before December. I just decided to do ME instead of focusing on "us." There are some good things about being here; chief of which is my first REAL taste of financial freedom and being able to do the things I really wanted to do all along

So I am not meeting him in Jamaica in March because I am spending my money on my still camera. He offered to see if he could find extra money to come across from Jamaica. I will visit him in September-Nov for a month. It is going to be hard on us, but right now, we just haffi tough it out. But as I told him, I will tell you: I FULLY reserve the right to walk away from this at any time if I am too frustrated!!! (but that's not the plan. And I also told him that I refuse to come and live with him ANYWHERE without us being married... and neither of us is rushing that just yet. I can stay for a few months on VISIT.. but not to move in...the last time I did that it ended real nastily. I have decided not to panic. If I lose my job, I will move home to Jamaica.

I emailed you the camera & accessory wishlist. TEN YEARS I have waited!

Rootical says:
I love you so much right now, You have no idea!

Sheer Almshouse says:
huh?

Rootical says:
dont worry
i know why
i think you made the best decision

Sheer Almshouse says:
Yeah me too...I have GROWN. Finally figured out how to maintain ME in a relationship

Rootical says:
wonderful
