250 miles!

Today I'm grateful for....

Completing our first Chapter ride with the H.O.G. members (Harley Owners Group).
We started at Spikes near Frankfort and took back roads down to Edinburgh (sp?). It was cold, we were supposed to have a nice day with lots of sunshine, that didn't happen, but we stuck it out and had a great day. On the last leg of our journey, somewhere around Speedway, the sun came out and we were able to shed some clothing making the ride a lot more enjoyable. On our way back home Josh and I stopped at Michelle and Craig's house to stretch our legs and say a quick hello. We ended up staying for around an hour, did lots of chatting, trying to quickly catch up on each other's lives. We are very grateful for their hospitality, since we just showed up at their doorstep out of the blue. The look on Craig's face from the kitchen window was priceless btw when we pulled in on the Harley :)

I am grateful that Lisa was able to handle the girls on Sunday which allowed us to be able to participate in the Chapter Ride. We dropped Calli, Taylor, and Ciarra off at her house at 9am Sunday morning and she kept them all day, then took Calli and Ciarra back to Crawfordsville and dropped Taylor off at home for us. Thanks so much Lisa, we really appreciate it.

A beautiful day today, the air is so soft on my skin it feels like a warm fuzzy blanket.

Knowing that in about 15 minutes I'm going to head outside on my new deck which is shaded by my new pergola that Josh built and I'm going to paint :)

Getting some financial stuff taken care of with ease, love love love online banking and banking over the phone! Saves me time and money (gas prices)!

Anxiously awaiting the arrival of my license in the mail so that I can start some continuing education classes!!!

The flowers that are blooming in my yard, and the whole explosion of color that's happened over the last couple of days.

Mushrooms will be up soon!!! Hoping to get some mushroom hunting in some time this week. I hardly ever find any, but I love the hunt, and the exercise is good for me :)

Kelsey taking care of most of the dishes at Mom's on Saturday when we had our family get together for my birthday and Tim's birthday. My mother was a doll and put 25 on the candle instead of 35, that was very sweet.

Expanding and "taking up space" when I want to, ...when I want to.

My life, just the way it is.

Getting to spend some time with Shelley and her husband Jody on Friday night. An awesome dinner and lots of conversation, catching up. James and Steve joining us later and finding out that she and Steve have known each other since they were children! Their families had places on the river next to each other, what a small world!

The privilege of being accepted as "one of the guys" with my guy friends.

Fantastic weather in advance for our joint birthday party at Lisa's on Saturday.

Good things are happening for the people I love.

you my little Harley chic, you.
