Most of you know by now that Andy recently purchased a motorcycle. He has had it for about a month now and has enjoyed riding it just about everywhere he goes alone. It took me a while to come around to the idea of him owning a bike, but finally realized that I wasn't going to let fear be the motivating force behind my decisions. I still get the occasional wave of fear when I think about what could happen, but that's just natural and Andy has made me feel as comfortable as possible by giving me his word that he will be as safe as possible when riding and assuring me that he has no desire to do anything that could possibly take him away from our family. With that said, I personally have no desire to ride on a motorcycle...I'm the girl who doesn't even like the windows down in the car because it's too windy. ;)
Well, yesterday Andy called me at work and asked if I wanted to drop the girls off at friends and go for a ride and dinner. My first reaction was, "no thanks", but then I thought, "what the heck", and decided to break out of my shell a bit. I'll admit I was very nervous, but after a few minutes on the bike realized that it was actually kind of fun, and best of all, it felt nothing like driving with the windows down. We took the scenic way across town, had a nice dinner at Chili's and then made our way back to TCBY's for a treat. By the time we got back to the girls, I was ready to be done due to my sore butt and back, but other than that I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how enjoyable a bike ride on a cool fall evening is. :)
I wish we had thought to take a picture, but we didn't, so you'll just have to use your imagination this time...
