We also spent a little time over at his buddy D's house where Nick helped work on more cars and I visited with D's wife. She's also trying to break into photography, and she has the same camera I do, so we always have fun picking each other's brains for ideas. One neat thing that happened was that D was at work in his boss's office and noticed that his boss's screen saver was a slide show of his grandkids' pictures. When D looked a little closer he noticed my business name across the bottom of them! Yay! My business cards came in, and I've been spreading them around like crazy, so hopefully I'll be able to pick up a few more clients soon.
We finally got our garage door fixed, which is a relief. And the guy came today to do the weather stripping on our doors, which was the last thing that had to be done for the inspection on our new HVAC unit financing.
Morgan found a baby bird today, and she's trying to nurse it along. It actually fell out of its nest twice, and the mama bird won't have anything to do with it, so I gave Morgan permission to do her best with it. It likely won't make it, which will be a hurdle I know, but I just couldn't tell her no. It was such an ugly little thing when she found it, but we went to Wal-Mart and bought some live bait, and it seems to have fluffed up and gained some strength, so who knows?
God has really provided for us this week with lots of side work for Nick. Not only did my parents give him some money for working on their car, but my brother and sister-in-law and Nick's sister and brother-in-law also had him do some. And today he was able to do some for a guy I went to school with!
Saturday we got to go out to eat with Nick's family and go up to the cabin. There are several June birthdays in the family, and they always have a birthday party for them up there. We had actually planned to skip the restaurant part and just go to the party at the cabin due to money, but Nick's grandparents decided to pay for our meal as a gift for our anniversary, so we got to go after all. This was Daisy's first visit to the cabin, and she was the star of the show. :) Sadly we won't get to spend our usual June vacation week there again this year. For years we've stayed up there for a few days around our anniversary because that's where we spent our honeymoon, but last year we were visiting his sister in Texas that week. This year we can't because Nick's cousin is getting married on our anniversary, so we have to be in town for the wedding, and a few days prior she'll be using the cabin for her bachelorette party. Unfortunately the next time that Nick can use his vacation time and the cabin will be available is in August, but maybe we can take a long weekend up there some time before then.
Speaking of our anniversary, it's in only 11 days - we'll be married for 12 years! It's been such a wonderful journey so far, and I can't wait to spend the next 12 years and beyond with my amazing husband!
Oh yeah, I got a spanking tonight! :) I have to admit, I was a little worried that since my brother found the blog Nick would feel too weird about it. And after we were too busy to get to it on Thursday, I got a little more worried! But tonight he made time for it, and it was just exactly what I needed! We got out the Inflatable Position Master I just reviewed, and Nick had me bend over it. He'd already had me get him the snake paddle and bamboo baton I also just reviewed, and he spanked HARD! He gave me 5 or 10 good whacks with each, then announced that the product review was over and we were going to get down to business. He started to take down my pants, but I managed to convince him to let me keep them up, and boy was I glad! The bamboo baton had some serious thud to it, which honestly kind of surprised me. After 20 or so with it he picked back up the snake paddle, and it felt like he was spanking me with everything he had. If he had been using something wood I would have had some serious bruises, but as it was leather it just left me very, very red. It's hard to describe, but it's like each swat just radiated out over my whole bottom, and it was only being over the position master that kept me in place. I'm not sure how many I got, but it was probably close to 100. The thing is, even though it really did hurt quite a bit, I think I could have kept going for quite a bit longer. The main reason I was glad we stopped when we did was because it was pretty loud as paddles go, and I was afraid we would wake the kids. Some time when at least Morgan is spending the night with my parents I'd like to try it again and see how long I can go.
When he was done it was my turn to take care of him, and I did that by spending some serious face time with a certain part of him that always appreciates the attention. :) Thank you so much, sweetheart, for loving me so perfectly!
