This is long overdue, but I finally own my first vehicle! And its not a car…
Now, if I could just get the mice to stay away… oh, and find more time to ride it!!
Inspiration
I know you already saw this video, but I thought it was worth saving. This guy is definitely the man, and his video gets me excited for our trip! I think it’s a great way to document the trip, but unfortunately, I doubt (no offense) that we could produce our own that would be nearly as much fun to watch :-/. I wouldn’t be against trying, though, if you wanted. I suppose if we did try and were relatively successful, we could use it as our Amazing Race audition tape… 🙂
Anyhow, my favorite part was when he said he was overtaken 1,000 times and finally took revenge, while showing the clip of him passing a bus down a big hill. A close second though, IMHO, was when he mentioned and showed a clip of getting attacked by wild penguins!
Julie’s Bachelorette Party Weekend
On Thursday night, to celebrate my 25th birthday, Tori made reservations at Cafe Sushi in Harvard Square, and invited Robin, Nina, Ashley, and Molly. It was delicious! Tori and I split an entire bottle of wine. The fun didn’t end there, though. For dessert, they took me out to Finale Desserterie and Bakery, which was mm mm good! Divine is probably the correct word to use.
Then on Friday night, I was off to Foxwoods to hang out with your brother’s future wife.
I know how much you like leopard print (NOT). I took this girls’ night as an opportunity to wear my scandalous leopard dress:
At the buffet we went to, there were so many options. I wasted so much food. I somehow still managed to fit this in my tummy, though:
Unfortunately, you weren’t at your house when I got there on Saturday. Instead, I watched Christmas/dog themed movies with your dad on the Hallmark channel. At least someone was waiting for me!
You did make up for it, though, by bringing yummy donuts for breakfast. And by giving me lots of presents for the annibirthday–now my touring bike is getting close to fully outfitted! You had better buy one soon so that you can catch up to me.
I sat in the swinging wooden love seat with my dad at the cottage and watched this cotton candy sunset.
We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa at the farm on Monday night, and I got this great mother-daughter picture. They made me take about ten before they settled on this one.
Happy Anniversary
I love you!
Go 4th and Celebrate
Thanks for coming to the cottage with me! I really liked watching all of the fireworks with you. Too bad we forgot your Chinese lanterns!
I didn’t expect Tori and Sam to hit it off so well; here he is teaching her to sail:
And here she is falling in:
Nice flip!
I shared my hair with Grace at the campfire. It was fun to see all of the Johansons at the Crispell reunion.
It was very entertaining to put on the wetsuits:
