Today my wife calls me up and informs me that she's getting her annual bonus on her next check, which bonus is going to be around $1200. She then told me that she knew I've been needing a new camera for a while and that she remembered I told her I could get a Canon 30D body for under that price, and if I wanted to I could go ahead and buy the camera! I can't tell you how overwhelming it is to know your wife thinks of you first when a big chunk of change comes her way! What a sweetie!

But now, here's my dilemma. Late last year my wife had me tear apart the hall bathroom for remodeling, but it's been sitting that way because we have not had the funds to finish remodeling it. I would very much like to see the bathroom finished (and the bonus would cover it), but on the same token I am aware of the fact that if I intend to push my photography in the next few weeks like I had planned to, it will be extremely beneficial for me to have a new camera with the DRebel as a backup. Especially after reading CLKunst's nightmare thread.

Anyway, I told my wife to hold off right now about making the decision to buy the camera until she comes home and we can talk about which way to go. Even if we don't decide to get the camera, I think I still have the sweetest wife in the world for thinking of me first.
