she's here!

the forklift guys at the warehouse thought i was a looney for taking pics and jumping up and down!

p's brother is the salt of the earth and was kind enough to put in alot of hard work and sweat (on his day off no less!) AND use of his truck, "the bruise" *THANKS DUDE* for enabling the following moment where i dramatically teared up and announced

 "this is the day i've dreamed of my whole LIFE!"

OMG!

it's love at first sight!

did i mention how excited i am?!

i would've posted a pic of her out of the crate and me sitting on top but you have to trust me that getting her out of that crate and onto the ground (she's HEAVY) and up my steep yard and into the carriage house was so difficult that we all looked and felt like we'd been beaten. see, they ship them "dry" which means no fluids and therefore, undriveable - so lots of pushing and LIFTING was involved - i'm so exhausted! but happy!

more pics soon, i promise!

cloud nine was never so high

my feet aren't even touching the ground right now because i'm riding SO HIGH on the news that my new baby arrived fresh off the boat from vietnam and is ready to be picked up!

BEHOLD THE AWESOMENESS THAT IS MY NEW RIDE!!!

i have always wanted a vespa and back at the end of june i found this beauty on ebay and just went for it! what can i say, it was a full moon! she made her way all the way from hochiminh city, vietnam on board a cargo ship named the olympian racer to come and live with me in alabama - how cool! and now i just have to find a way to get her the two miles from the pick-up site to my house... considering i don't know how to ride it yet! ha! 

i am so silly but i keep thinking of awesome outfits i should wear while cruising around on it to envoke this image:
