We're about a week away from starting the build-out on the new cake shop, and since I'll need to be able to deliver more than one cake at a time on just the front seat of my current BMW 328xi (which I adore), he ordered me a new BMW X5 in mineral green (my favorite color). I measured the back cargo area, and it's HUGE (comparatively speaking). It should be here next week. Have I mentioned he's the sweetest!? I have to work my ever-livin' butt off to pay for all this stuff, but hey, I like to keep busy.
I'll post pics of the shop once it gets underway; I've been keeping it on the down low because I didn't want to...uh...jinx it.
happy happy car dance
How exciting for you! Congrats on the new car and the shop. It's always nice to have a hubby that spoils you rotten (I have one of those too!)
What? That's freaking sweet!!
Thank your lucky stars you snagged a good one, and good luck on the opening of your shop!!
Just to clarify HOW sweet he is: He actually traded in his beautiful, pristine, bright red, lifted Dodge 3500 quad cab pickup with every possible bell and whistle, chrome everywhere, *MAN TRUCK*, so I could get my delivery car. I think his exact words were, "You never blink an eye when I buy new equipment for my business, so...now it's your turn." And, he's selling a skid steer from our other business, for the down payment for my shop.
Just a minute; I'm getting all va-clempt...I'll give you a topic...discuss amonst yourselves...
And after 22 years, I still think he's so hot! How teenager-ish is this?--today I'm wearing one of his t-shirts, and it smells like his Gucci cologne, and it still makes me swoon. heehee
Must be the sunshine today, but so far it's been a heckuva day.
Stef, that is SO cute! You made me smile reading that....it sounds like a high school girl! Always be grateful when your guy realizes just how much we do and how much we give,(usually without a word about it) and finally reciprocates. It's definitely a great feeling to be loved like that!!
Awwwwe... that is so sweet. And his gesture is awesome too. Have fun with your new toy... I must say I'm a tad bit mineral green with envy... I needz me a new car.
Does he give lessons???
Congrats on the new surprise purchase and having a wonderful hubby!
Stef, that is so sweet! He gave up some of his toys for you and cakes! That's love! And a business write-off too! LOL.
Where are you putting the shop? CDA, PF? I wanna stop by and see when done. Are you planning a walk in shop or by appt? Details!
Hey Christine,
Yes, he is a DEAR for trading in the 'guy truck' for the 'cake hauler' , but I do get to write it off, and we save $700/mo in the trade.
The new shop is going to be in PF. PM me and I'll tell you where etc.; you should come by! Not a walk-in shop, but definitely in a great spot, new construction. We get the architect copies Monday, and they should be starting on the build-out by end of next week or the following Monday if all goes well. So, lots of excitement next week. I sign for the new car tomorrow a.m., and it should be in by next Friday. DH wants me to do the license plate with "GOTCAKE" on it--what do you think? (I thought of
