It's finally here!!

My XT9 is finally here! I'm so excited! Ever since Nicole Roundy blew me away on the ski slopes in Park City, Utah last january, I've been dead set on getting one of these babies. It'll allow me to participate in sports such as, snowboarding, moto-x, wakeboarding skateboarding, rock climbing, water and snow skiing, surfing, and ice skating.

Of course, I couldn't have gotten it without the help of  the Heart of Dixie Victory Riders. They put together an awesome benefit poker run for me in March. Also a special thanks to all of the private donors and sponsors:

Half Time Sports Bar & Grill
Rocket Harley-Davidson/Buell
29 Dreams Motorcycle Resort
Humidor Pipe Shop
Artisans Salon Spa
Fourroux Prosthetics

The ones you love

While I was in the hospital last year, my little sister, Steph, came up to me with a piece of paper with a little sketch of me and my two sister's names in the shape of a heart. She asked me what I thought, and me being an artist, I instantly spouted off a couple suggests to improve it. I said, with a little tweaking, it'll be ready. Little did I know that she had already gone out and gotten it!

Regardless of it's imperfections, I thought it was a great idea. I spent a couple months looking through images and fonts. Eventually, I found exactly what I wanted and pieced it all together. As soon as my sister got home from college for her spring break, we went and got tattoos together. Steph got a tree that I had designed for her at least two years ago.   I mean really, can you think of anything better to do when you're sister has a near death experience than to go get a tattoo?
