Splurge of the Century

Life doesn't always go as planned. We were in the process of buying a SUV. Due to unforeseen circumstances, that fell through. I was disappointed and, to be honest, angry. I wanted a vehicle up here just to make life a little easier. I don't mind walking most of the time. I just hate trying to arrange to get food mail or other large packages. There is a delivery service in town but they charge an arm and a leg.

After a lot of complaining from me, Chris came up with a plan. He finessed our finances (and help from an outside source) and came home with a new snowmobile. Boy was I shocked he actually went through with it.

This is a picture of what our new ride looks like.


We went for a little ride around town. I was scared to death! I had never been on a snowmobile before. I didn't know what to expect. All that worrying for nothing. It was so much fun. Keirwyn was snuggled safely in my amauti and she slept through the whole thing.

On Saturday, Chris and I (Keirwyn will be staying with a babysitter) will be heading out on the land for the first time. A few other couples will be going as well. I look forward to this time on the land and spending time with Chris. I will bring my camera and take pictures to post for all to see.
