A Few More Pictures



This is at the request of my mother. The bike is a 2007 Harley Davidson Nightster. Pretty much one of my favorite bikes ever! My father is also a fan. :) Too bad we're having a crap load of snow here on the east coast, so its inaugural ride will have to be a bit postponed.

More Better Things To Sit On!

We bought a new bike! Yes...that's right! I've been planning and scheming for quite some time now. Finally, our new addition has arrived and we are so excited! It just so happened that it came on one of the snowiest and stormiest weekends of the year.

I spent some time waiting for the right bike for the right price. I ended up buying it on Ebay of all places from a guy in West Virginia. I was planning on having it shipped here, but the guy offered to deliver it if I'd just pay him the shipping. I think he planned that before the snow storm hit. He decided to drive anyway. Originally, he planned to get here around 5pm on Friday. After letting me know that he drove back about 2 hours once he realized that he forgot the keys, he ended up getting here around 7 am. I have no idea what he did along the way, but it was snowing most of the time and he even said that there were fallen trees on the highway. Either way, it's here now and AWESOME!




Don't mind the couple inches of snow on the ground. The last picture is really bad. Sorry, I took these with a cell phone. We'll get some better ones later when the weather is better. I fired it up once we got it all settled, and boy oh boy! What a treat!

Paint!

So, after hours and hours of Sydney watching millions of different programs on HGTV, we have been wanting to design and fix up our apartment so it looks all awesome. When we moved here, our lease said that we weren't allowed to paint. Since we were snowed in (yeah...seriously...in Richmond) all weekend, we got bored and decided to have some fun.

I figured it wouldn't hurt to just call our leasing office and ask if we could paint. To my amazement, they said yes. We ran to the store and bought some paint and supplies and began. We didn't finish till about 2am Monday morning (we started a little later than we should have), but it was a lot of fun and really makes our apartment a whole lot better!







We actually didn't finish at 2am...since we just barely ran out of paint...for both colors. Seriously like 1 foot square left on each wall. We like it!
