Score.

Last weekend Franco surprised me with brand new roller blades.

True, they've got red wheels and look sort of manly, 

but I've been wanting some good quality blades since our first date, 

when he took me to skating plus and showed off his mad skating skills. 

Pretty smart move, since I was really impressed (and jealous) 

and agreed to be his girlfriend before the first date was over. 

True story.

Originally $250 (5 years ago...), we got them for free (!), 

thanks to Franco's brother Jonathan who pulled some strings at the thrift store where he works. 

As I mentioned before, I was lazy and didn't charge my camera's battery 

so I don't have any sweet pictures of me in these beauties, 

but I tried them out a couple nights ago and they are smooth & perfect.

And I've got the best teacher, Franco, who's been blading since he was 7. 

Sometimes waiting for something you want but don't really need pays off! 

Now I get to go show up Franco, because his mission blades are over 8 years old. 

*blows raspberry* Who's jealous now? 

;)
