How we celebrated our 12 month anniversary [pt I]

[katernater]

Todd and I had a great time at the monster truck rally last night! Neither of us had ever been to a rally before, so we weren't sure what to expect. What we got was two hours of motocross freestyling, ATV races, and -- of course -- trucks that were desperately trying to compensate for something. I decided not to spam you with pictures of the event itself (most of my shots came out blurry anyway), so here's a collage of the highlights:



But the best -- the BEST -- part of the night happened when we walked into the expo hall at the very beginning. The local Honda motorcycle dealer had a booth set up off to one side and they had a 2008 Honda CBR 1000RR model sitting out on the floor. Todd saw it before I did and he pointed it out, very casual-like, and asked "...So do you want to look at the motorcycles?" At that point, I was pretty sure that I could have knocked a pregnant lady down in my eagerness to look at the motorcycles. The guy running the booth was awesome, and he let Todd and me sit on the bike, pretending that we could afford it:












You guys, it was AWESOME.

And, yes, I bought a hat, like I said I would. It's in a bag at the bottom of my closet, where it it will probably stay until I need something to wear on my head when I'm painting a ceiling.

You's are so adorable!

Thank you! And yes, I have to agree: Todd's facial features are arranged in an overall pleasing manner.

Darling, you look fantastic! Nothing can adequately describe the delight on your face, especially in those two Kate-on-a-bike pictures. I'm glad you had such fun!

It's in a bag at the bottom of my closet, where it it will probably stay until I need something to wear on my head when I'm painting a ceiling put it on to take the pictures I offered.

Just sayin'. ;D Happy eleven months!

I think you underestimate the severity of the problem: when I wear a hat, I look like one of those poor dogs whose owners are sadistic enough to dress them up in holiday-themed costumes. It's just awkward.

And thanks! Actually, I was mistaken: the rally was the first part of our one year anniversary. The second part is the par of KT Tunstall tickets Todd bought us this week. Events! Events! Events!

It looks that bad? Oh, dear. Well..eugh, that's a degree of torture you shouldn't be subjected to. I always pity those dogs. Especially on Christmas.

That's fantastic! ;D KT Tunstall, oh, that will be fun! Her CDs are on repeat in Partypants as of late!

Oh the awesomeness...

And woah... that bike is just... sex on wheels... mmmm...

When we were in Italy on a school trip we passed this Ducati place on the way in to the bowling alley - next thing my teachers knew, I was plastered to the window right in front of this ice blue beauty... mmmffhhh.. hawt...

Ok, what the frak... my DevART has decided that it no longer likes this photo and it's all screwed up... *pouts* Well, it was shmexy anyhow ;)

Glad you guys had such an awesome anniversary!

I lose my senses around motorcycles. I would love a Ducati -- the bike you're talking about sounds gorgeous!

[outintherain.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, me too... it's right up there with umbrellas on the list of inanimate objects over which I go inexplicably ga-ga... actually, I'm pretty sure bikes are ahead of umbrellas ;)

It was very nice as I remember... but I'm a sucker for blue things in general.. so a ble bike was gonna be a winner... ;)

You know how some people globetrot to see paintings by a certain artist? Like, I read a book once where a character was on a mission to see "every Vermeer in the world." I'd love to go on a motorcycle manufacturers "tour of the globe."

Triumph and RTX in England, Britten in New Zealand, Ducati, Hunwich, JAWA Divisov, Honda -- I'd just go nuts.

Todd looks nothing like I thought he would!

It's very nice to see pictures of you two, finally.

[katernater.livejournal.com]

He's constantly surprising.

And you -- we need to catch up ("catch up", I hate when people say that; it sounds so trendy). I hate that every time you post/I post, my immediate reaction is "I've missed you!"

I want to know what's going on in your wide world. Dish, darling. Dish like a Cuddy matron.
