Steve's New Toy

I know everyone knows already, but my post has to be about Steve's surprise! We have been saving towards a motorcycle since we got married! Life gets in the way and comes up with more important things, so along the way - house, Bella, school - the "motorcycle fund" has been emptied and started again numerous times.

Saving started once again this summer, and we had been talking about the right timing. Our plan was always to make the motorcycle a graduation present, but that will be in December, and there's a good chance it will be too cold for Steve to ride it in the winter no matter how much he loves it!

Lately, I knew Steve was just waiting for me to say "yes". So I decided to surprise him! I found out which one he really liked - if you spend any amount of time around Steve, the conversation will ultimately turn to motorcycles - and I called the dealership myself. I told them what I was planning and the salesman loved the plan!

Wednesday morning, I got a friend of mine to watch the babies during naps, and went down to sign the papers. It was a lot of fun! It was also really calming knowing we weren't about to go into debt for this - Dave Ramsey and our parents were right!

My plan was to surprise him this weekend and have one of our friends drive up to the house riding the bike. I take after my dad, though, and couldn't wait that long. Wednesdays are always rough days for Steve since he doesn't get to see Bella and has a long night of class, so it seemed like a great "pick me up"! I surprised him with the Bill of Sale and he was speechless! Yay!
