my new ride

So my birthday was this month.

We spent that Saturday afternoon thru Sunday afternoon in the Outer Banks.

My lovely friend Ashley & her family rented an AWESOME beach house & invited us down.

We had a great time & it was a lovely distraction from Mr. Mans up coming 'Big Boy trip'

Speaking of Mr. Man.

Oh my fantastically wonderful Mr. Man.

How I love him so!

He surprised me with a fun fun fun present this year.

Every year I wonder how he'll top the last

(he is a master gift giver / surpriser.

One year he scoured ebay for a first edition copy of one of my favorite stories, Le Petit Prince

if you've yet to read it, i implore you to; it's wonderful :sparklyheart:

anyway, back to my original point)

He is an outstanding gift giver.

This year he surprised me with

a bike.

not just any bike

a beach cruiser.

correction, a red beach cruiser.

complete with red bike trailer for the girls.

and a removable basket for me to take into the store.

AND a bike rack for my car.

he even put it all together a.s.a.p so i could start riding.

so far we've been going on a ride at least once a day.
