When it rains, it pours

It's been a crazy week. Suddenly, after a few weeks of not much happening, everything is now happening at once. I bid on a motorcycle on E-bay and won it, but someone else picked up the bike. So, I bid on another bike and won it, and talked to the seller personally so that he wouldn't sell it to another person. Then, we've also spotted a motorcycle for Dena. So, we've been planning a road trip this weekend. It was also a little madness to try to rent a van, after the first place we called didn't have any vans for rent in all of Scotland. To make matters more stressful, it's been a pain in the ass to get our money from our US bank transferred to our UK account. We did figure out an alternative, so we're going to buy a Kawasaki ZX-9r and a Ducati 600 SS this weekend.
The lease was FINALLY approved, so we picked up the keys this afternoon to our house! Dena worked on arranging for the movers to bring our stuff. Luckily, they had a cancellation, so our stuff will be at our house on Tuesday. Otherwise, we would have had to wait until the end of July to move in.
Oh, and it's the rainiest summer in Scotland in the last 50 years. Happy, happy, joy, joy. :)
