Well, yesterday we got a call telling us that Aaron came out on the E-7 list. It is kind of funny seeing as Aaron has yet to do anything for his 7, but we will take the blessing. Aaron also signs his paperwork for his CSRB on Tuesday, which we are anxious and excited about.
Today we bought me my first motorcycle!!! I got a small 2009 Honda Rebel 250. It is light enough for me to handle and something simple for me to learn how to ride on. I spent about an hour riding it around the housing here getting a feel for it. 2nd gear has never felt so good! "Driving" really is better "riding". Aaron was kind enough to take some pics and a video of my first ride. (And I never even dropped it, which I sort of was expecting.)


We had to drive an hour away to hit a decent bike shop. We went there yesterday, I fell in love with this bike, and we went back today with the trailer and bought it. We are waiting for the bonus for me to buy a couple of helmets that I want to be painted with a certain design I drew up. I also could not find a jacket that fit my short arms with my big bust, so we have to hit up another shop somewhere else we were directed to. Again, I figure that when we got out to really ride I will just wear Aaron's jacket for now. I already have a helmet that I have been wearing while riding backseat on Aaron's crotch-rocket.
I did almost run Aaron over once. I was using my front brake handle and accidentally gassed it up at the same time...lol. I yelled for him to move out of the way in time. He didn't get upset or anything. What a Trooper!
