I have been wanting to buy a bike for years now, and up until recently I have been way to poor to really even consider buying one.
Well I filed my taxes at the end of February and didn't check the status until I got back from Belize. What did I find? Well it has been rejected the same day I filed them and I just never checked because why would they get rejected when I did it right? Well two different numbers on my w-2 from my current employer was wrong. We fixed the first one because we thought only that one was wrong, then it got rejected again. Then I fixed it again, yesterday, rejected last night. So that is now 3 times. Anyway, the point is is that I am getting quite a lot of money back on my return! A LOT! So I thought I would have that money when I got back from Belize because it should only take 3 weeks and that would have been 3 weeks. I don't have that money and am still weeks away from getting that money. I have been planning to buy a road bike from that money and put the rest in savings for my IMac! (Yes it is enough money to buy both)
Well, I think Andrew is really excited about me getting this bike because we were looking at some online yesterday and now I have in the mail for me this bike! :) Thanks to Andrew! My bike isn't it beautiful?! And not a bad price either! So I should be getting it within the next week, it is being shipped to Andrew so he can put it all together for me before I see it!! YAY!
The unfortunate part of this story (besides the whole tax stuff) is that it has been freaking SNOWING like alllllllllllll week! What the heck, seriously I HATE THE SNOW!! It is suppose to be spring!!!!!
I love that Andrew bought it for me (it is basically my money too, right?) I mostly think he bought it for himself, so i can now ride with him! Now I am excited to get this tax stuff figured out, and buy all the things I need for my new bike! REI here I come!! (Not really because we are saving money, that means no new clothes, no going out to eat till we get married and probably after, that is 5 months away!! ugh!!!!)
More on Belize later, it just seriously takes SOOOOOOOOO long to do!!! I have to look at 4 different folders for pictures!

How fun!! And man, if your return is enough for all that, you might want to look at your withholdings!
You'll get a bike computer for sure... just so you know.. I don't know what else though as far as accessories go.
Do you have a bike pump at your house? I may need to give you mine for now.
You and Andrew can buy me a bike too if you're feeling generous :) LOL
yeah we have looked at photographers websites...it just sucks cause we have no time really to take more pics and on the photographers websites of course it never says where they took their pics, its so annoying! i just want it to be green outside. Tyson leaves at the end of this month and then gets back like a week and a half before we get married...very frustrating. so be glad andrew isn't going anywhere
