So, happy graduation to me.. and Brett! (ha!) We found out we couldn't have a puppy in our apartment, so I'm instead counting these as my graduation gift to myself. Plus, Brett gets one because it's more fun when we each have our own! We actually got them a few weeks ago, but I've been waiting for the perfect weekend to debut them. With our 86 degree day today, it was the perfect day to go scootering around our lovely beach town. This photo was so inspired by this one here!
They are both Genuine Scooter Buddy scooters! He opted for black and I went for the girly mint green color! They are so much fun. We had scooters a couple of years ago, but Brett got into an accident and I sold mine so we could get Brett's old car fixed, so we lost them, but now we have better ones (that we're being extra careful on, promise!) But some of my favorite memories of the first year of our marriage were spent on scooters, so I knew we had to have them again. They seriously make life so much more fun!
In summer, our town changes like you wouldn't believe. It doubles in population because we're such a touristy town! So in the summer, there is never parking - even the locals like us can't find parking anywhere - so these are going to be perfect for heading down to the beach and never searching for a spot! We took them down to the beach tonight, watched the sunset and rode them home... perfection!
Here's to a summer of scooter trips and adventures! I couldn't be more excited! We've had such a lovely weekend. Last night, Tall Ships (Brett's band) played in Traverse City and it was such a fun show with friends. Afterwards, we grabbed pizza in downtown Traverse - so good. I had a blast. Next weekend, Tall Ships is going on a mini-tour (Grand Rapids, Howell, Chicago!) so Kait and I are tagging along and I'm so excited. It's going to be a blast. I loveee our group of friends! I promise to blog all about it!

really great!!!...love this post...
Really great post! Now i kinda want a scooter. lol. btw, u have a really great blog :-)
Yah!!! Scooters are great!
They're fun, easy-to-park, inexpensive to operate and good for the environment. Plus, they make any outfit look better!
these are too cute! you never see them in australia..
Oops... sorry for the double-message... accidentally clicked twice.
those are so cute! i love the color of your scooter.
So that is the coolest thing ever!! You look cute as hell riding a scooter. I'm trying to convince Zach that I should trade in my car for a Vespa. I don't use my car but 2 or 3 times a week.
This looks so fun! And I love the color of yours. Might even match my Morado ring haha.
Its interesting to me that where I grew up sounds so much like where you live. Even the plants look the same. Its just that you live on a lake and I was on the ocean! Strange how similar they are though. Just means Ill have to see the lakes at some point in my life!!

Love, how cute! Scooters are super popular here, I really want a white one with gold accents.
I hear ya with tourist seasong, in the middle of August even our little Smart car is too big to navigate through the craziness.
U guys are soooooo cute!! Luved this post! Have a fab Monday xx
ha ha ha, you guys are so stinkin' cute! :)

ee, for some reason this post made me GIDDY! these photos are adorable, and I am in love with your mint green scooter! And seriously, you & brett couldn't get any cuter! I love how much fun you have together!
oh and I just read about Brett's collarbone. My husband broke his too ... he was just starting on his bike (less than 5 mph) and the back tire slipped on water and the bike fell on top of him! He was okay except that he broke his collar bone in four places. It took him a while to get on the bike again ...
Those are some seriously badass scooters.
That mint green scooter is quite possibly the scooter of my dreams. Hell, even that colour on a car would suffice. Or, on anything! Seriously in love with green - especially that shade! This post confused me at first until I read on because I was sure you already had scooters. So sad that you had to sell them at first - but very glad you get to have them again :] keep safe!
How adorable! These are just the sweetest pictures. I always enjoy hearing about you and Brett :)
so cute! i love your mint green scooter. i bet you guys will have a blast on them this summer!
Awww! You guys are TOO cute!
These are such fun pictures Tieka! You two are the sweetest-looking couple. (: and your matching scooters are so adorable! Be safe, you guys!
These are so cute and perfect! You two are officially the cutest couple ever.
I say a scooter just like yours yesterday and said to my man "I really really want a scooter just like that!"
It was even the exact same color!
Hope you two have lots of fun scootering around town! :)
You and Brett are too wonderful on your scooters. Cole and I have always wanted scooters, too!! So lucky!
Lulu Letty
this is so adorbss. matching scooters?!?!?! i DIE of how cute this looks~!!!
CONGRATS! And you should still sneak a puppy in there ;)
xo, Kim www.crowded-closet.com
I love your scooter color. I've always wanted one to scoot around my small town in. Enjoy your summer and late happy graduation!
gah, you guys are too too adorable!!! love the mint green colour....reminds me of gelato, yum :-)
AWESOME! We had a scooter too, a couple of years ago and sold it, because we were moving and couldn't move it with. I miss it so much. You guys are going to have a blast. I can't wait to read all about it!
adorable. simply adorable.
Oh wow ! I love them !
Those scooters are amazing, wish I had one two!
X
I wish I could get away with riding one of those around town, but its just such a busy city it would be far to dangerous. So instead, I will just admire yours and Brett's and how cute you guys are. :)
Can't wait to hear about all your scooter adventures!
Eeeee!!!! I loveeeee them!!! It looks just like the bikes my husband and I just got! But I'm suuuuper jealous of those scooters :) I have always wanted one!!!! Someday when we have a garage to store them in... we'll get them :). Have fun and be SAFE!!!! hehe. And, happy graduation :D xo
oh my gosh, i would love a scooter (esp. love the mint green!!) my boyfriend and i rented one when we went to martha's vineyard last summer & now i'm hooked--trouble is, vermont isn't terribly scooter-friendly (dirt roads, no go). i've been begging k to buy another motorcycle though--they're a little more versatile. very cute!
These are so fricken cute. Best graduation gift ever! Can't wait to see all of the adventures you take on em Tieka :]
That sounds like tons of fun! And I'm glad to see that you're wearing your helmet!
These photos are phenomenal--esp the last one! This really makes me want a scooter. A lot.

You guys look so cute and I love your color choice :)

hehe- these pictures made me smile from ear to ear and then I instantly thought "We need scooters too!!" how fun!! that last picture of you is amazing!! hehe so cute!
you. are. so. adorable.
i love that you both have your own scooters. you should have races all over town, but i don't think that qualifies as careful driving, so maybe not :P
What a lovely post! =) They look so good! Yours is a gorgeous colour. Looks tasty!
Thanx so much for your offer on my blog =) I will drop you an email when I want to buy something.

Tieka, I always get serious Michigan withdrawl whenever I read your lovely blog, I miss Traverse City so much.
you two look adorable, still waiting for the day when you have puppies. Glad you're playing it safe with helmets!
omigosh, seriously, you two are just too cute! the scooters look like fun!
Those are so great! I'm wicked jealous!
I want a scooter SO BAD. It probably wouldn't be very practical where I live, but they're so fun! Excellent color choice as well!
You guys are so cute! I love that y'all seem to have such a fun marriage. And the scooters are so cool!
I love how you love your husband :) It makes me even more ready to marry my best friend.
And that last picture of you is perfect. Its one you should keep forever!
I love those scooters! The minty green one is such a fresh and girly colour. I love black on a car/ scooter though too. Great choices!SarahD

This is so sweet. I love the mint green!
Those scooters are perfect! So adorable.
Oh, I want a scooter (in this color as a matter of fact) but my husband thinks it is ridiculous. I'm showing him your post to see if it holds any sway. :)
never has a duo been more perfectly paired and adorable (the scooters too!)
Those pictures are so unbelievably adorable! You guys look perfect together.
xx,
Ale.
You guys looks so cute! My friend has a vespa, it knocks at least half an hour of her commute to work as she doesn't need to search for parking space anymore :)
I'm really looking forward to seeing your summer posts you know, you've got such a fun life. I do start to long for a boyfriend myself whenever I see you guys together, you look like the perfect couple, one of the best advertisements of marriage I've ever seen.
awwww... you guys are just adorable!
Scooters are just so adorable, as are you and Brett!
You have really good taste in music, just thought I'd let you know.
Love the color of your scooter! So cute!
Hahaha these look like so much fun! What a great idea. I love that minty color. I hope you're being super careful!! My friend got really hurt on one of those a few years ago. Good job with the helmets
Your outfit is just so perfect for this!! I ADORE that last photo of you. And I love scooters! You lucky girl! And congrats on the graduating.
ps. we can't have a puppy either, so I feel your pain!
what a fun couple you are!!! i love your scooter!! it's so cute and really suits you! :D
take care, tieka!
Hay dear blogger!
How are you? I'm glad that I've visited this blog! She's lovely.
Please, check mine too & maybe we can follow eachother!
You can also join my GIVEAWAY!
Love, Cindy.
I want one of these so bad! Are they hard to drive? Can you go long distances one them? What about hills. My town is filled with hills and I am afraid it will be hard and I will have to push it up? Love them!
looks like so much fun! oh how I only wish! but it´s so cold here that we would only be able to use scooters for like 3 months of the year so it wouldn´t be worth it at this point. love the minty colour!
Oh my gosh, so fun!!!
Ooh, I am totally jealous! I've always wanted a scooter and the color of yours is perfect!
a) you guys are the cutest couple ever.
b) are you on twitter? I must tweet stalk you.
c)OMGF who did your layout, it is SICK. I love it.
Kthxbai.

You guys are too cute with these scooters. And yours even matches your bug!
Love the scooters! I remember you asking me to let you know when my Etsy for vinyl record bowls was up, and it is! Hope you find something your hubby would like. :) http://www.etsy.com/shop/kaymobo
A summer of scooter trips, that sounds like a blast! What a great way to get around, wishing you many happy summer memories :)
Too cute, you scooter kids!

This is too cute! I'm so jealous haha it reminds me of Italy where all the people have vespas because the roads are so narrow and parking is scarce :]
oh my gosh, i flipped out a little when i saw this post! i have wanted a mint green scooter for YEARS. it's seriously on my wish list... i hate driving and would much rather have one of these. ;) this one is so perfect! :) you two are adorable.
I love love love your scooters!!! I have recently been riding and am looking for the perfect one. I really love the mint green!
I just love how much more fun they make going somewhere! My fiance and I will be moving downtown GR and I cannot wait to be able to ride a scooter to school!
)$)@#$*0350(34!!!
I feel like you could be my best friend, is that weird??
haha :)
But really, I am OBSESSED with scooters and my boyfriend and I have been riding them together for a while!! Yours look SO fun :)

Eeep! Tieka! This makes me want to get a scooter so bad. Infact, it makes me want to marry Nathan right now and then get scooters together and ride off into the sunset. Ive never seen a girl look like such a babe on a scooter before..it suits you so well! You and brett are seriously so cute. I hope you have an amazing week...you deserve all the sunshine that comes your way! x
I was in Grand Haven on Sunday and totally saw you guys riding down the road!
Super cute! I love the colour of your scooter :)
scooters are so cute - I love them but then they scare me too! my bf had one for a while a few years back but it's especially scary driving one in LA traffic! have fun & look out for potholes!
I've never been a fan of scooters, but heck yours just made me green with envy. Gorgeous! :) Have a happy summer!
Your scooter is so cute =). Love the color!
This is possibly the cutest thing ever! My husband and I have a picture of us all suited up on ATVs in Costa Rica and this reminded me of that! I love that yours is green!
oh my goodness the last picture is the greatest thing ever. so cute. and I LOVE the colour of your scooter! I saw an overpriced pastel striped one in a magazine a couple years ago and I've wanted one ever since.
just when i thought the two of you couldn't get any cuter...you did! ahh! robert and i are actually planning a similar thing this summer except we're both going to get bikes hehe :) mint green is my favorite color ever! i'm planning on getting a beach cruiser bike that same color! weee!
YES!!!!!! That last photo of you should be on the cover of a magazine. SERIOUSLY! I love it. You too are just so cute! I am glad that I was able to finally see the scooters in action. Pure awesomeness! :)
You look ridiculously adorable! I love the mint green color. So fun.
i absolutely love this post! you two are just adorable beyond words. thanks for sharing! great photos :))
oh my gosh! how adorable! those look SO MUCH FUN!
I am soooo jealous!! I really want a scooter, but my husband won't let me get one. He thinks they are too dangerous.
aw this is so cute, looks like so much fun!
congrats on graduating! love the vespas!

I just showed my boyfriend these pictures and went "in two years, if that's not us I'm going to cry"!
I love the mint green colors, such a good pick, and like everyone else I'm extremely jealous.

toooooo cute tieka! i love the minty colour!
So cute! Glad to see helmets on you two.
how freaking cute are you two!! i love it =)
You guys are the absolute coolest! The mint green colour was a grrrreat decision :) Can't wait to see more scooter adventures and possible some funny scooter vids? xo
Omg!! What an amazing graduation gift! Scooters are the best! Did you have to get a special license to drive them? I love that you went with the mint green color. It's feminine but still has a touch of tough. Amazing pictures!!!
This is so awesome! Love the matching scooters! You always have the best adventures and photos... Not to mention amazing outfits. Such an inspiration!
oh my gosh. tieka! you are too cute. i am loving all of these pictures. they just made my day! :)

http://revi-pinkillusions.blogspot.com/
You are really one of my favorite couples now :-)
Oh my goodness, could you two possibly be any cuter?
Looooove the colour of yours!
This is probably the most adorable thing I'll see all week! xo
love the scooters!! i just rode one for the first time this past weekend and it felt pretty scary to be going at 30 mph. i am definitely more of a fan of 4 wheel vehicles! Still lots of fun, nonetheless.
you two are adorable, btw. :)
this makes me so jealous! my husband and i rode mopeds in paris and this reminds me of that trip. u guys are awesome!!
Love the color you chose !!
It's so post war 60's...
ohman. those scooters look like so much fun!
i really really love the first shot!!
be safe!
Oh my gosh, you guys are so cute it hurts! The mint green is just perfect. Can't wait to see more scooter adventures from you this summer!
i just discovered your blog, i love your scooters! the colour is amazing. i would be too chicken to drive a scooter though, i like feeling all safe in my cocoon of a car hehe
My partner and I are scooter buddies too! You guys remind me so much of us! Hehe xo
What adorable scooters! My fiancee is an avid motorcyclist, but I'm afraid I'd much rather opt for a Vespa or other adorable (and practical) scooter. Which model do you have and how do you like it?
IM SO JEALOUS.
i've wanted one for forever. have a great time with them!
Ah I cannot believe how cute these pictures are! Your marriage is so wonderful, I am so jealous of you guys. Your scooter goes so well with your style too!
My fiancee has an awesome little red and white scooter that I love riding on the back of, I'm too scared to drive one by myself!
So happy for you two, you guys look adorable on your new scoots!
