Invest in glass!
Make sure it is upgradeable though too! You may eventually upgrade the camera as well so make sure the lens you get can work with the newer cameras as well.
I have a Nikon d90 and have been tempted recently with the Nikon d7000 with its more MPs, new sensor, and better video capability, but I realized that there is ALWAYS a new/better camera coming out and eventually I am going to want to go Full Frame for higher ISOs. So I am not buying the new camera and instead starting a new lens fund (one I want is $1700!!!!) so that when I do upgrade to the Full Frame camera years down the road, I can have my good glass to go with it. It is going to take me almost two years to save up for the lens, but I know it will be worth it. I bought my current lens used two years ago and have been so happy I did, that I KNOW that good glass makes the photos! That an learning the camera and how to take photos! LOL that one is all me though!
