My forever favorite camera the Pentax K1000 broke on me shortly after getting married and I was devastated. First the film winder went then after having to roll the film by hand in the dark the whole thing went kaput and I couldn't even open it again. I was so sad but shortly after, I got my digital camera. But I've been missing my cute little Pentax and film in general. I love having to think about a shot before I take it and no chimping allowed with film!
I come home one day late from work and Andrew had a little surprise for me waiting- on a funny side note I've been really wanting a new camera bag-something like this-actually I really love this designer and wont settle for anything but her- Darby Mack:

Needless to say I started to cry! Andrew just laughed at me and said he felt that he needed to go to a particular thrift store and found it for only 15 BUCKS! I paid 100.00 for my pentax online. It's in great condition and I only needed to replace the battery for the light meter.
Also- there was a full roll of film!! I had it developed and this is what I got-
The year is Christmas 2004 in Todd KY- I know this because of hints I found in the pictures, not unlike a treasure hunt for sure.
I love my husband, I'm so lucky he knows me so well!
